Daughters of Purity

The Daughters of Purity only recently established their small church, which worships one of the almost forgotten Old Gods: Senestra. Alicea, who was working in Bridgeport's Great Library at the time, had discovered one of the few copies (there are only three) of the Kama Senestra, or Senestra's Books of Love, a pair of two books encased in a thick leather box. She started reading them and got drawn in rather quickly. After finishing the books, she approached some of her best friends, who were reluctant at first but were struck by the same fascination. Soon the five of them started their little goddess-led counselling service.

Everyone who visits the Daughters leaves with a hint on how to tackle the problems they came with, or they forget their problems altogether.
There is no public prayer service held at the church. Instead, the Sisters meet with clients in one-on-one counselling sessions during which they practice rituals with them. These appointments may be scheduled at the client's convenience. At the conclusion of a session like this, the participating sister assists the client in gaining new perspectives and finding answers to the challenges they came to the session with. A significant number of the customers provide generous contributions to the sisters.

Kama Senestra by Tillerz using MidJourney

The second book seems to be written in an illegible language, at least if you just pick it up and open it. To grasp the content of the second book, you need to read the first book to the end ("Introduction to the Inner Sanctum" is the important part) and perform the rituals described. This will clean your mind ("purity") and open it for the content of the second book.

Senestra's Necklace by Tillerz using MidJourney

When reaching the end of the second book, the reader will find a small compartment on the inside of the thick back cover, containing a small heart-shaped necklace. The necklace can only be found and worn by who finished reading the book (there will be a new one for each reader).

Senestra
Alicea's success in locating the book was no coincidence; rather, Senestra was the one who led her in the right direction. The same is true for the property that the church operates in; Senestra acquired it almost twenty years ago and donated it to the sisters anonymously.
The goddess is trying to rebuild her former strength, which is based on a strong followership or alternatively a followership that is able to channel collected energies towards her. Unbeknownst to the Daughters, the heart-shaped necklaces are collecting all the energies that are set free when they are together with their clients and executing the rituals written down in Book II, Chapter II to IX in the Kama Senestra. The energy flow is then directed towards the book, which is basically a part of Senestra and any incoming energy is strengthening her immediately.
Counseling
Many of the Daughters' clients talk a lot. Those bits of information help the Daughters to give hints or advice to other clients. Most clients visit again, enabling the Daughters to puzzle together what is going on in the world and what is of interest. If a new client is announcing his visit, the Daughters try to gather as much information as possible beforehand.
