The Church of Celestial Wisdom is a small, closed congregation that operates out of the Central Boston district.
The Church of Starry Wisdom, or Starry Wisdom Cult, is a cult that worships the Haunter of the Dark. The cult was founded in Providence, Rhode Island circa 1844 by the archaeologist and occultist Professor Enoch Bowen. The cult used a sacred relic known as the Shining Trapezohedron to summon the Haunter of the Dark, who demanded outrageous sacrifices in return for limitless knowledge of the universe.
Although the cult was publicly denounced by the other local churches, it nonetheless grew to have a membership of around 200 members. Mysterious disappearances in the area brought the cult under public scrutiny. After run-ins with both local citizens and the municipal government, the church closed and 181 people left Providence for unknown reasons. However, there is veiled evidence that they scattered to the winds to act as missionaries for their dark god. The church held an extensive library of occult literature. The majority of these books were removed by one Doctor Dexter after the church was raided following the mysterious death of Robert Blake.
Though the Providence sect was officially disbanded in 1877, the Church of Starry Wisdom has appeared in other places including Yorkshire, England (1880 to 1890), Chicago, Illinois (where it was known as the Celestial Providence sect), Boston, Massachusetts under the name of the Church of Celestial Wisdom, and more recently in San Francisco.
A splinter cult known as the The Chapel of Contemplation sprang up in Boston as well. It burned down in a police altercation in 1912.
