Runebro here.
The related book is one of the neo-pagan glossaries, most of this "magic" comes from the revelations of one or two blokes who "meditated" on the meaning of the runes. These new-age rituals that work best are essentially making talismans in the form of material tulpas - e.g. they work because they remind you of the goal you wish to achieve.
If you want to get into runes, look to Iceland - it's where they're historically best-preserved (in close relation to the language). Also look for historically legitimate rituals like vanir magic. Mountfort's book on Nordic Runes is entry-level, but a good place to start.
TL;DR: don't fall for the "haha we wuz pagans and shiet"

To elaborate on that and OP's wishes, books on germanic/germano-pagan history are often very pretty and tome-like. Always remove the paper covers on hardcover books once you got them home safely.
