The Gentleman and the Faun: Encounters with Pan and the Elemental Kingdom - Hardcover

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

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.
