Product Description
Product Description
In the "Scientist and the Faun" the reader follows Robert Ogilvie Crombie's (ROC's) experiences and encounters with Pan and the elemental kingdom in the Botanic Garden in Edinburgh and the path that led him from there to the Findhorn Community where he encountered more elementals and fauns. In one conversation with Pan at the Botanic Garden ROC talks about other people being jealous of his abilities and asks why he is able to see Pan and the elemental kingdom and receives this reply from Pan: Communicating with my subjects is not a garden game for the odd half hour when there is nothing better to do. It is of vital importance for the survival of mankind. Unless humanity comes to realize the dangerous stupidity of outraging nature and stops the ever-increasing rate of pollution it will ultimately destroy itself. Seeking cooperation between the three kingdoms - the Devic, the Nature and Humanity's, as is an aim at Findhorn, is one way of helping mankind to survive. ROC gave many lectures over the years on his experiences with the nature kingdoms all of which have been incorporated into this new book. This book includes new material by David Spangler, Dorothy McLean and other Findhorn community members sharing their experiences of ROC and his abilities.
About the Author
Robert Ogilvie Crombie (1899 - 1975), also known as ROC, was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1899 and lived there for most of his life. Crombie abandoned his career as a scientist due to ill health, and moved from his town house in the city of Edinburgh to the country near Perth, Scotland, to be able to have closer contact with nature. This later developed into a communication with the inner spirit of the nature kingdom. His account of some of these experiences are published in 'The Findhorn Garden' a book about the early history of the Findhorn Foundation in the north east of Scotland. His verbal account of his encounters with nature spirits, accompanied by photographic slides of nature was part of the educational programme at Findhorn for many years. He was cited by his friend, the Findhorn co-founder Peter Caddy as a major influence. ROC died in 1975.

Although this claims to be a true story it does not matter if you believe its true or not. It is still a very magical tale of what happens when you throw a penny into a wishing well and wish to see fairies and it comes truw.
If you are a fairy lover then you are sure to love this book. It has a good understanding of nature spirits and it does make you wonder ..what if

I tracked this book down after hearing about ROC in one of my favorite movies, My Dinner with Andre. But the more and more I read pieces tangentially related to that film (such as Wallace Shawn's book of essays), the more I realize that I really just like the film itself. This is an interesting version of an encounter with a faun, but doesn't go into the more interesting things that I wanted to know about ROC, such as what he does to keep his imagination "clear." Still, I'm glad I could find this on Amazon. Came from a bookstore in England, and arrived quickly.
