help! i'm new at all this, and im having trouble understanding what runes are and what there used for.

Runes were an ancient alphabet, were later used for divination. They are 24 to 25 square tiles, and they are used similar to tarot.

They look like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elder_Futhark
This is a good site to tell you the meanings of the runes:

thanks, that's very helpful! i was trying to look at some other websites earlier and they were in runes! kinda pointless to make a site about learning the runes if they can't read it huh?

lol, I think that defeats the point.

Runes are not just for divination. They can be used in spell work as well. I don't use mine for divination at all.
