Do you ever wonder if the elves, gnomes, fauns, salamanders and sprites of myth, stories and legend really exist? And, if they do, what role do they play here on Earth?

Walk hand-in-hand with R. Ogilvie Crombie (Roc) as he describes his own personal experience of meeting the elementals, or nature spirits, in various parts of Scotland; and how he comes to meet the great god of nature, Pan himself, in the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. Through his conversations with Pan, Roc comes to understand, respect and love the elemental kingdom, realizing that it is vitally important for man to work together in cooperation with the nature kingdom in order to restore balance, wholeness and harmony on Earth.

Roc was recorded by Christopher Cathles during the period 1972–74. Originally published as two audiotapes: Elemental Kingdom, and Conversations with Pan. This double CD was remastered by Christopher Cathles in 2009.

"Robert Ogilvie Crombie, or Roc, was a loving and gentle man, a wondrous storyteller, a musician, an actor, and an embodiment of the best of Scottish charm. He was the wise old man, the grandfatherly figure children adore, and the magician who guides heroes and heroines on their paths of accomplishment. He was a man of culture who had one foot in this world and one foot in the worlds of spirit and mystery. There was a great deal to admire about Roc. He was a self-taught mythologist, psychologist, historian and esotericist, though his early training had been in science. Though quiet and reserved, he was still a pleasure to be with. He had a delightful, even impish, sense of humour matched by a twinkle in his eyes that was rarely absent."
