Celestrism

This page was written by Jess & has been copied over from the original wikia.

Celestrism is the polytheistic, traditional religious belief system of both angelic and demonic species. The religion is closely tied into astrology and the belief that the Earth's place in the universe, among the stars, impacts every facet of life. Celestrism is based upon the idea that good and evil forces balance each other out, and that Earth is the space where this balance occurs; good forces fall from the heavens, while bad forces rise up from Hell.

Those who practice this religion believe there are 7 Gods, and that each god has a 'light' spirit and a corresponding 'bad' spirit. Light spirits are associated with virtues, while bad spirits correspond to vices (The 7 Heavenly Virtues & 7 Deadly Sins). It is believed the Gods choose to cast these spirits into the bodies of chosen celestial or demonic descendants, who are intended to use the virtue or vice associated with that spirit to carry out certain missions. Both sets of virtues and vices have a Reigning Virtue/Vice - in Virtue, this is Humility, and in Vice, this is Pride. The virtues and vices are thought to be incarnated into the forms of archangels or demonic princes.

There are also a handful of Mediators - those specially chosen to hold both virtue and vice within them. Mediators are neither dominantly angelic or demonic, but exist within some in between space. It is said they are capable of communicating with the incarnations of the Gods directly and are even capable of summoning demons from Hell or angelic spirits from Heaven.

Within the religion, it is believed celestials were created from the matter within stars, which were then situated around Earth to create Heavens.
