Wiccan leader loses appeal in Va. civic prayer case

The Supreme Court has turned away a Wiccan who sought to deliver prayers at Chesterfield County board meetings on an equal basis with Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders.

Cynthia Simpson, a practitioner of the neo-pagan religion, had appealed a decision by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which overturned a federal court’s finding that the county had acted unconstitutionally.
