but sensed them on the inner planes. They were of awesome scope, she said. Their duties were to hold the archetypal pattern of all material things in place – even manmade objects such as machines – and to offer love to humankind. Within a year, under the guidance of the devas, Findhorn had been transformed. Cabbages, normally four pounds at maturity, weighed over forty pounds. Broccoli grew so large they were too heavy to lift from the ground.
In 1966, a friend of Peter Caddy’s, scholar R. Ogilvie Crombie, visited Findhorn. Evidently, he appealed to the nature spirits, for after his return home to Edinburgh, a nature spirit appeared to him one day in the Royal Botanic Gardens. It was about three feet high and was half man and half animal. It introduced itself to Crombie as Kurmos, and said he lived in the gardens and helped trees to grow. Kurmos soon introduced Crombie to Pan, the chief of the nature spirits. Pan told Crombie that he had been chosen to help renew the lost contact between mankind and the nature spirits. Crombie relayed Pan’s messages to Findhorn.
Findhorn attracted people from all over the world who wanted to participate in building an exciting new ‘community of light’ that was ushering in a new era of cooperation between man and the kingdom of nature.
Brian Nobbs, a British professional potter and artist, arrived at Findhorn in 1970, to find the place filled with magic and light. Nobbs, who ran the pottery, became Crombie’s heir apparent with the community of Pan. It proved to be a purposeful passing of the spiritual wand, for Crombie died in 1974, and Nobbs became instrumental in the preservation of the devic presence at Findhorn.
In the summer of 1971, Nobbs travelled to Edinburgh, and was invited by Crombie to spend the weekend with him. Crombie suggested that they spend a day visiting various places of devic importance, including the Royal Botanic Gardens. Crombie instructed Nobbs to be as aware as possible. ‘When you notice something, tell me,’ he said. ‘But I won’t give you any clues.’
The day was momentous, in which Nobbs experienced a tremendous expansion of consciousness that was, he said, ‘mind-shattering’. One of the most potent sites was the Royal Botanic Gardens, where Crombie himself had first encountered Pan.
