Default VOR Radio Navigation

Can someone explain VOR navigation to me a little more? I read a section in a book on it, and I understand that there is a panal with controls like to and from, to say whether you're flying towards or away from it, a heading indictator, and a left right indicator, to tell you whether you should go left or right to get on the heading you've set with the dial. But how do you know what VOR station you're on, and which one to go to next, and how is going from station to station any different than just using the compass or compass card? I obviously have an imcomplete understanding of VOR navigation.
