In my divination experience I simply ask/intend the query to this Experience we're a part of, to offer insight or direct me to knowledge, and something usually finds it's way, or I to it, that builds a lead.
Books are an amazing tool and ez packaged-ticket-in to get a well structured snapshot if you have flows there, but don't be afraid to explore your own experience and experiment.
Following moment to moment interests in the subject of magic or whatever you find yourself looking at, can be a powerful spearheading tool; as you collect awareness on the subject, you'll likely find yourself connecting dots, exploring terms, and happenstantially mentally organizing, which generates further interests, items, and practices you may feel drawn to.
I do not recommend doing a summoning as your first cast of course, but basic psyball creation/practice/play to develop your energy senses, learning basic elemental associations, meanings, and uses, tools commonly used in practices, how to set up an alter and what they're even more encompassing-ly for. You can also explore deities or other beings you find yourself interested in, making time to rest & meditate and after, writing down what visions or visuals come up, even placing a note pad etc next to your bed for when you remember your dreams. Your world is your oyster, both outside, and inside.
All depends on where you're headed; you are your best compass, and sometimes doing things can help you find what you are looking for. Just avoid frustration and know, there is plenty headed your way regardless of what step you take.
