Davis notes that there are four types of superstition. Vain Observances includes such things as not walking under a ladder or stepping on the cracks in sidewalks. Divination means consulting oracles to learn the future. This includes, for example, reading Tarot cards or consulting the I Ching. Third, there is Idolatry, or the worship of images. An example here is would be carrying lucky charms. And finally, there is the Improper Worship of the True God. The example he gives of this is trying to bribe God to grant a favor.
