For years, the Phoenix Goddess Temple claimed to offer “seekers” healing through sensual touch. But when an outsider exposes what’s happening behind closed doors, the temple unknowingly welcomes in a new kind of seeker—undercover detectives. What some saw as a spiritual home, the state saw as a brothel operating under the guise of religious freedom. So what happens when your beliefs might be against the law? Hosts Katie and Leah Henoch follow the rise and fall of the Phoenix Goddess Temple, and tell the story of a community still reckoning with the fallout more than a decade later. Available September 6, 2022, wherever you get your podcasts.
Witnessed: Mystic Mother is part of The Binge—a new podcast channel from Sony Music Entertainment.

Customer Reviews
Great storytelling
I’ve only listened to Season 2 so far, but I’m completely enthralled. The story is so well told, there isn’t the usual distracting loud background music going on endlessly, there are only a few short ads per episode, just an overall great listen.
Oldest Profession
Mystic Mother offers a very different lens into sex work. While there is plenty of room to judge, there is also opportunity to explore multiple stories. Like the TV series “Orange is the New Black” the women involved - have more than one story to tell. It is worth your time to listen.
Nuanced and thought provoking
You can tell my the myopic, narrow-minded, poorly articulated one-star reviews that this is going to be a good podcast 😜😂
Well done, thoroughly enjoyed. A story as heartbreaking as important to tell, with real life consequences for the undeserving
