Democratic Candidate in West Virginia Was Active Pagan Witchcraft Cult Leader
Tuesday, it was revealed that a West Virginia House of Delegates Democratic candidate was an active leader in pagan witchcraft.
Lissa Lucas, who’s campaign has raised more than five times as much money as her Republican opponent, rose through the ranks of a Wiccan cult to its third level –the highest stage for most Wiccan cults – and instructed lower-level Wiccans in occult practices, according to The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Lucas also authored two books on casting pagan spells, writing under the pen name Llysse Smith Whylle.
In the author biography in Lucas’s 2007 book, “The Art of Magic Words,” a step-by-step guide for casting spells, she boasts about her experience in the world of witchcraft.

From the author biography in Lucas’s 2007 book:
“Llysse Smith Wylle has been Pagan for many years and Wiccan for seven,” the description reads. “She is a member of the Third Circle of the Tradition of Universal Eclectic Wicca; she also teaches and coordinates its First Circle degree via the Coven of the Far Flung Net.”
“For a number of years, she has studied Chaos and other magical techniques privately, as well as with a small esoteric study society called the Order of the Golden Breath,” the description continues.
In this book, Lucas cautions against using pagan spells for harm without a good reason, writing that “actions that do cause harm should be done with the appropriate respect and restraint.”
“Casting a beauty spell on yourself, for example, will usually be seen as a spell that causes no harm,” she explained. “Casting a spell to exact revenge on someone you don’t care for, on the other hand, is generally unacceptable to Wiccans.”
“However, the advisability of casting a spell for a hunting excursion should show the proper respect for the environment,” she wrote. “Just what the ‘proper respect’ should be is a matter of conscience.”
In the books inside cover it shows the book being published by Ground Mark Press in Cairo, West Virginia, where Lucas lives and where her campaign is based. The author describes living in a secluded West Virginia home with her husband.
Campaign biography details on Lucas include personal details like why she and her husband chose to live in a disheveled home on a 45-acre farm -“tumbledown cottage” in “the beautiful, secluded location” – but does not include any mention of her occult practices.
Lucas’s second book on Wiccans, in which she co-authored, would be considered an academic textbook of sorts. “Wicca 334: Further Advanced Topics in Wiccan Belief” that was published in January 2008.
This book is described on Amazon as being “designed for the serious student of Wicca interested in covering controversies, debates and injustices within the religion. Those searching for spells or techniques are not served by this book, which focuses instead on philosophy, Wicca’s occasionally strained relationship with other religions and such divisive issues as propaganda and religious imperialism.”
Lucas previously went by Llysse Wylle, the name used in authoring the pagan books, on both her Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Although she later changed her listed name on both Facebook and Twitter to her legal name, her handles on both platforms still retain her pagan pen name.
For example, her campaign Twitter account, is titled “Lissa for WV House” but she still uses the handle “@LlysseWylle.”
In an email Lucas wrote to The Daily Caller News Foundation, she defends her small town saying, “I think what really bugs me about my opponent’s attacks on my spirituality is that for that kind of attack to be an effective political strategy, he has to have presumed that the people of this district are religious bigots, and they’re just not,”
“I don’t like that he views them that way. They’re good, kind, hard-working people who love their neighbors. In small towns and rural areas we love and stand up for each other, period,” she added.
When Hasson sent a follow-up email asking whether Lucas still remains an active Wiccan, no reply was received.
You may recall having seen a video that went viral in February of Lucas being removed from the state House for violating procedural rules by using public testimony about a bill to attack individual lawmakers for campaign donations from the oil and gas industry.
Lucas earned her 15 minutes of fame earlier this year when outlets including The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, and The New York Times ran the video. With the Young Turks, a far left-wing outlet, going as far as to call her “an American hero.”

Following the national media attention from this stunt, Lucas’s campaign pulled in roughly $90,000 in donations – more than five times that of what her Republican opponent has raised.
How convenient that out of all the media coverage from multiple outlets, there was no mention of Lucas’s high-ranking position in the Wiccan cult, her authoring books specifically on casting spells and Wiccan practices. Certainly, these facts must have simply been overlooked, and not purposefully excluded.
