Starry Wisdom Cult (Earth-616)

The Starry Wisdom Cult was a sect worshipping the Haunter of the Dark, which could be awakened by gazing into the Shining Trapezohedron, a stone and jewel said to have been brought to Earth by the Old Ones, later worshiped in Atlantis, then acquired by the pharaoh Nephren-Ka, whose evil rule caused his name to be stricken from all records.

In the middle of the 19th century, they took over the church at the top of Federal Hill, in Providence. After the stone was found by archaeologists, it eventually became the property of the cult, who worshiped it. The cult also possessed the dreaded Necronomicon. They wrote their records in code using the Aklo language.

Their strange rites and rumors of blood sacrifice caused them to be driven from town in the 1880s.^[1]

They possessed the Necronomicon and the Shining Trapezohedron.^[1]

• The Starry Wisdom Cult was created by H.P. Lovecraft in "The Haunter of the Dark".
