Nancy Chandler
Nancy Chandler is an author renowned for her work in integrating Christian and Wiccan spiritual practices. Born in 1962, Nancy has always been drawn to mystical and esoteric traditions. Her journey into the world of spirituality began early, influenced by her fascination with stars, moons, and crystal balls.
Nancy's career took a significant turn in the 1980s when she became involved with various forms of folk magic while traveling across the United States with her rock band, Bratz. This exposure to diverse spiritual practices enriched her understanding and eventually led her to explore Wicca more deeply.
In the late 1980s, Nancy was a member of the outer circle of the Alexandrian tradition's Temple of Hermes in Maryland and also engaged with Dianic Wicca in Los Angeles. These experiences were pivotal in shaping her unique spiritual perspective, which blends elements of Christianity and Wicca.
Her most notable work, "Christian Wicca: The Trinitarian Tradition," was first written in 1999 and published in 2003. This book explores the possibility of harmonizing Christian beliefs with Wiccan practices, focusing on the Trinity as God the Father, the Great Goddess, and Jesus as the Solar Lord1. The book has been influential in the ChristoPagan community, offering a framework for those who wish to honor both Christian and Wiccan deities.
Nancy's approach to spirituality is deeply personal and eclectic. She has a strong devotion to the Rider-Waite Tarot, which introduced her to Kabbalah and the Canaanite Pantheon. Her studies with the Builders of the Adytum (B.O.T.A.) and Paul Foster Case's programs further enriched her spiritual knowledge.
In addition to her work on Christian Wicca, Nancy has authored several other books and continues to be an active voice in the spiritual community. Her writings often reflect her journey and the synthesis of her diverse spiritual experiences.
Nancy's contributions to the field of ChristoPaganism have provided a valuable resource for those seeking to blend different spiritual traditions. Her work remains a testament to the possibility of finding common ground between seemingly disparate belief systems.
