The Satanic Temple DFW (Deep Ellum gatherings)
“more activist art-collective than horror movie”
A 'civic-minded,' non-theistic Satanic chapter profiled by the Dallas Observer, whose members have gathered in the back room of a Deep Ellum bar to perform rituals and study the occult, not out of belief in any entity but for the psychological power of ceremony. More activist art-collective than horror movie.
The move: Follow their socials for a public ritual, social or gathering (they've met in Deep Ellum bar back rooms) and go together for a one-of-a-kind, unholy-communion night out, then process it over a Deep Ellum nightcap.
📍 Before you go This isn't a fixed venue you can drop in on, so the only way in is to watch the chapter's own social channels (Facebook, plus X/Instagram) for an announced ritual, social, or public gathering, then head to whichever Deep Ellum spot they name. Because they meet in bar back rooms, expect an adult, evening crowd; some events are open to anyone and others lean member-focused, so read the listing. Deep Ellum sits just east of downtown with paid lots, metered street parking, and a DART Green Line stop, plus walkable blocks of bars and live-music rooms for that post-ritual nightcap. Go respectfully; this is community and ceremony, not spectacle.
