Morning world, it's Tracy Elise, and I'm here in Phoenix about to go to court today,

not just to defend the Phoenix Goddess Temple in the sacred sexuality movement.

Now come to find out, I'm actually defending the Constitution itself.

The trial hasn't even started, but Tracy sounds like she's already won.

That's because for her, this case is about more than just the Phoenix Goddess Temple.

It's about all Goddess temples, and every American's constitutional right to believe what they choose to believe.

But since Tracy fired her attorney, she has to teach herself how to be a lawyer.

So she starts watching YouTube videos of Harvard law professors and reading up on Arizona case law and various religious freedom statutes.

It's overwhelming, but she has support.

She has access to advisory council appointed by the court, and she has help from her family.

There's the boxes. I've got eight of those boxes.

There's another bag of documents spilling open.

You know, just, it's a lot for this little group, but we're doing well. There's Ben.

From the beginning, Tracy's son Ben and her daughter Sylvia are by her side.

I just want to give a shout out to my family, my children, especially.

I've got some volunteers helping and paralegal work.

Just thanks for your assistance.

Ben, Sylvia, and their older brother, Daniel, were just kids when Tracy separated from their dad and left Alaska.

And when they got older, Ben and Sylvia went to live in Phoenix to be closer to their mom.

Ben was listed on the temple's website as one of a few male practitioners, and Sylvia worked there as a gatekeeper.

Even though she wasn't practicing as a goddess, Sylvia was arrested and charged in the case. Ben wasn't.
