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.
Enthralling, informative, delightful and just a little scary at times, this lovely little book will thrill and delight anyone with an interest in elemental and nature beings, or who simply wants to encounter an amazing, gifted, wizardly 'walker between the worlds'. -- Karen Tucker Paradigm Shift I totally loved this book. It's a real life fairy tale. It put me in touch with the magic and miraculousness of life. I find I like to pick it up and read it at times when I want to feel uplifted and inspired. It gives me hope and inspires me to attune to nature. I may never be able to attune to nature and the nature spirits as ROC did, but when I walk in the woods or beautiful nature spots I think of the beautiful experiences ROC had and it always puts me in a wondrous and positive frame of mind. I am grateful to R. Ogilvie Crombie for having the courage to write about his experiences and bring the message of Pan and the Elemental Kingdom to humankind. -- Ellen Bell, Amazon
