Divination is a skill and it takes a lot practice. You won't learn all the meanings of every Tarot card over night. You have to get feel for what you are using. If you hate Tarot and continue to use it then you're only wasting your time. You should give each method at least a couple months of your time just to see if it works for you. If it doesn't then move on to something else.
Over the centuries many divination methods have popped up. A few you might want to try are
Tarot (cards)
Numerology (numbers)
Astrology (the stars and planets)
I Ching (coins)
Runes
Nephomancy (clouds)
Geomancy (earth)
Scrying (gazing into liquid or shiny surface)
Pendulum
Empyromancy (burning).
If you chose to use Tarot Cards you should know that there are many different decks out there. I love using my fairy deck and also my moon oracle cards. I've seen many other beautiful decks that have dragons, trees, people, children and pretty much all that you can think of. Choose a deck that feels right to you.
Once you pick a method to go with read all you can about it. Start practicing as soon as you can. The more you practice the better you will get at your readings. Start off with simple goals as well. Don't let your first Tarot spread be cast so that you will know if you are going to win the lottery. It won't work. Start with goals that will let you learn about your inner self and then ask some of the bigger questions like "should I marry him?"
Scrying is one of the easiest methods to learn. All you need to practice is a bowl of water with black ink added or a shiny black surface. You can easily spray paint a mirror with glossy black paint to create the perfect scrying surface. All you have to do is sit down in a dim room and look into your water or stare at the black surface you're using. Clear your mind and just gaze into the blackness. Try to look beyond it if you can. This takes practice but eventually once you've learned to calm your mind, you will start to see images or letters either in the water (or on the black surface) or in your mind.
