we dont actually know much about runes as divinitory tools beyond what Tacitus and the various rune poems tell us of them (which is basically: the runes had names, people wrote them on things that were thrown, and somehow, this gave oracular knowledge)
now then, most systems you see /x/ types or even certain modern heathens using typically derive from the works of a little crypto jew named Ralph Blum. Mr.Blum wrote a book in 1982 called "the book of runes", where he basically smashes together
>the names of the runes
>the I Ching
>medieval tarot
and combines it with new age tier ideas about how divinitory magic work (basically, if you know how wicca sees divination, then you know how Blum sees it).
the shit poffered about by the likes of Diana paxon and edred thorsson inherits alot of thought from Mr.blum's work.
the great big tl;Dr of it is: if someone tells you they have a system for predicting the future with runes, its likely derived from this jew charlatain's work. otherwise, rune divination, like seidhr, is a relatively lost art.
the runes are letters. their magic is in the fact that they let you listen to the dead.
