Thank you that was all the guidance I needed I just didn't understand the divination part could you explain it more

You need some oracle for divination that clicks/connects with you so that messages from your highest power/wisdom/the Universe or it's representatives/messengers/angels can talk to you and you can ask them questions (roughly - and mostly for short, current concerns or interactions). In the expressions of the RHP I mentioned this was usually done with the Tarot along with divinatory prayer * but as Lon Milo Duquette points out you can use anything for divination (technically and if you are a magus). Personally I mostly use the Tarot, a pendulum, and/or the I Ching most of the time. Sometimes I get dreams that tell me what I need (this happened all the time when I was a kid, not so much now). There are other cultural forms of divination that I didn't grow up with and don't know about. If you live in a part of the world where this is a problem (much of West Asia, much of Africa) then you don't use Tarot cards or something that would be obvious. You might have to learn to use animal manifestations or rain or weather mainfestations or divination using the Bible/Torah/Koran or even other books (can technically be any book but people who do this and don't use a religious text mostly use fantasy novels that they have a resonnace with).

A lot of RHP magick comes down to what would appear to be prayer to others looking in on you.

You will also need some method to purify and strengthen your personal aura/energy body which ordinarily becomes either chakra meditation or a Taoist practice like qi gong or it's meditative form called nei gong or can technically be an energy martial art or something like the invoking and banishing rituals of the pentagram and hexagram (see Golden Dawn teachings on this).

* Standard old formula: I invoke thee IAO to send his great angel HRU who presides over these operations of secret wisdom, to lay his hands invisibly upon these consecrated cards of art that we may obtain true knowledge for the glory of thine ineffable name. AUMGN

or

In the divine name IAO, I invoke thee, thou Great Angel HRU, who art set over the operations of this Secret Wisdom. Lay thine hand invisibly on these consecrated cards of art, that thereby I may obtain true knowledge of hidden things, to the glory of the ineffable Name. Amen”.

You can change it as you need to:
May the divine light of the IAO and the radiant energy {or blessing/empowerment/wisdom/etc.} of the angel HRU bless this deck.

IAO = Highest Divinity, Highest Divine Source: Tetragramaton/Adonai/Allah/etc.
HRU = probably an abbreviation, angel of blessing for divination
