The Trouble With Sex: Why Phoenix Goddess Temple Founder Insists She’s a Priestess, Not a Prostitute By Miram Wasser, published in the PhoenixNewTimes.com
Mar 02, 2016
Dearest Tantra Tribe,
It is with a heavy heart that I report that Priestess of the Phoenix Goddess Temple, Tracy Elise was taken to jail today, after being charged guilty on all counts. We are still waiting for sentencing which is scheduled for April 8th. The potential sentencing time in AZ women’s prison seems to be a minimum of 3 years and the maximum given in the Courts is 70 years, but that was before some of the counts were dropped so let’s open the prayer field for the most compassionate sentence.
Her son Benjamin will appear on Chan 12 in AZ with the argument t the case was too complicated for the jury to understand. She will be looking for an experienced appeal attorney and needing community support like never before. See comments below or join the Temple Support hub to help with much needed community organizing and fundraising.
Tracy is a pioneer and an archtype. Her position as the leader of a Sacred Sexual church is being tried and tested for all of us. The court may have charged her guilty, but we have much work to do still in the court of public opinion.

Tracy Elise is still in jail. Her sentencing has been moved to May 6th. We do not know which women’s prison she will be transfered to, but in the mean time, the food is terrible and the only information she gets is what we send her. If you’d like to help, please send her a postcard, or money for books for food. The Best way to Donate is to go to phoenixgoddesstemple.org (tax deductible.) We will be keeping money on her account. Tracy’s account number @ Estrella Jail is T253161.
Hello Tracy Elise supporters! We have had many inquiries on how to support her during this trying time until she is vindicated. You can help by placing money on her books for food (the food in jail is terrible!), sending her a post card, setting up your phone for her to call you, setting up a video visitation or sending her books and magazines to read.
How to Place Money on the Books For Tracy
The Best way to Donate money for her books to buy food is to go tophoenixgoddesstemple.org and make a tax deductible donation. We will be keeping money on her account. After sentencing on April 8th she will be moved so we have to manage her book money as we do not know where she will be going yet.
