Desert Shadows Temple

School of Paganism

Welcome to Desert Shadows Temple

Founded in 1995 in the deserts of El Paso, Desert Shadows Temple (DST) began as a community of spiritual seekers inspired by the natural landscape to create a space for diverse Pagan practices. Over the years, DST has grown into a thriving, inclusive community dedicated to Positive Pagan Traditions, blending spiritual teachings and nature-based practices for personal and collective growth.

DST has a proud history of service and education, from ritual gatherings to workshops, and has remained committed to promoting positive change. In 2014, DST launched a project to build small shelters for the homeless, reflecting the temple’s dedication to compassion and community welfare.

Today, DST reaffirms its mission with a renewed focus on inclusivity, welcoming members from all backgrounds and identities. Our community gathers in temporary locations as we search for a permanent space that will best serve our needs and foster connection, growth, and education in Positive Paganism.

As we look to the future, Desert Shadows Temple remains devoted to spiritual exploration, inclusivity, and a vision for positive community impact. We invite all who resonate with our values to join us on this journey.
