Lone Star Darkness: Here’s 3 Satanic Cults That Practice in Texas

Texas might be known for its wide-open skies and delicious barbeque, but it also has a darker, more mysterious side. Among these are satanic cults whose practices have stirred up both curiosity and controversy.

I recently stumbled across an article from Texas Monthly that talked about two mysterious deaths in Childress rumored to have tie-ins to satanic cults. Really? This is the kind of stuff you hear about in horror movies and now it happens right here in the Lone Star State. I wanted to know more about these groups and how their practices can wreak havoc on an everyday community.

LOOK: 3 SATANIC CULTS THAT PRACTICE IN TEXAS

First is the Order of the Nine Angles. They are believed to have roots stretching back to the 1960s, this group merges satanic views with ancient pagan rituals. Notoriously secretive, members are said to put personal evolution over traditional moral codes. This leads to practices that go against mainstream society.

Next is the Temple of the Black Light, previously known as the Misanthropic Luciferian Order. This cult preaches a philosophy that promotes chaos and condemns existing real-world orders. Their rituals, shrouded in secrecy, align themselves with what they believe are true chaotic forces in the universe.

Wrapping things up, the Cult of Cthulhu offers a unique blend of satanic worship and cosmic horror, inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's fictional story. This group sees the universe as a cold and indifferent place. Their practices focus on the worship of the Great Old Ones, particularly Cthulhu, as symbols of ultimate truth and power.

While the existence and activities of these cults are often under wraps, they add a layer of mystique and caution to the folklore of Texas. Whether stemming from truth or taken from urban legend, the stories of these cults continue to fascinate and also alarm.
