The man, who cannot be identified in order to protect his daughter, was also convicted for one s.e.x assault.
During his trial at Swansea Crown Court, the woman said her father told her he wanted to "teach" her how to have s.e.x so she knew what to do with future boyfriends.
He would come into her room as she slept and abuse her, jurors were told during the harrowing trial.
She told the court she became pregnant with her first child at the age of 14, and reported the assaults to police in 2018.
She also suffered two miscarriages and had one termination, Wales Online reports .
Judge Paul Thomas told the rapist that in his 40 years as a judge it was "one of the worst cases he had ever dealt with".
He warned the man he faced a "very long" sentence.
The prosecution said he used elements of witchcraft and the occult to manipulate his victims, including creating a fake mystic who told the females to perform sex acts with him.
When he gave evidence in his defence, he admitted having s.e.x with the girl from the time she was 14 but said that when she was a teenager she blackmailed him into continuing a sexual relationship.
In an interview with police, she said her father told her: “We are soul mates, we have been together through so many lifetimes. We are meant to be together.”
And she said she was forced into sex with him, stating: “I knew that was wrong and I thought it would never happen again but I was wrong. It happened at least two to three times a week.
“I had to deal with that in my mind. I knew it was coming - whether it was in my bed or in the car or on the beach that he would have s.e.x with me.
“He did it several times in a short space of time and would go a week or two without anything and then back the way it was.
“It was continuous. I was scared to say anything.”
The alleged abuse took place when she was aged between 14 and 18, the court heard.
The daughter explained during a police interview she had been guided to a secluded area where he grabbed her hand and forced her touch his p.e.n.i.s, telling her: “It’s not wrong”. She said he told her: “I’m going to teach you how to do it right.”
She said in interview how sexual intercourse followed and her dad told her: “You will learn from this.”
She said: “It made me feel very dirty. We went back to the car. I would not talk to him. He told me my attitude better change before I get home.”
And she told police she had been abused 20 or 30 times in her dad's car, saying in a recorded interview: “If we went out in the car at nighttime, just me and him, he would find somewhere secluded and make me do it in the back of the car.
“He was always very quick in his decision-making and say ‘We will have a quickie there’; ‘Let’s do it there and go home’.
“It happened in the car probably 20 to 30 times.”
Speaking during his trial, the dad accepted having s.e.x with his daughter, but claimed he was blackmailed.
Asked whether his wife knew what was going on, he says he didn’t know and that she used to “drink and go to bed early”.
He says: “She was always telling me I have got to know my place otherwise there would be trouble. I was terrified of what she could do to me.”
