Douglas Baker

Dr. Douglas Baker, B.A., M.R.C.P., L.C.R.P., was born in London, England in 1922, but was raised in South Africa. In 1939, at the outbreak of World War Two, he enlisted in the British Eighth Army in North Africa. The experience of war evoked in him doubts about traditional religious belief and led him to investigate the hidden facets of Man’s true nature as pondered by the philosopher’s throughout the ages. Douglas studied esoteric astrology and he developed a new technique of interpretation borne out of his experience of many thousands of astrological consultations. At that very early age, the psyche was already pointing to what is my soul's purpose—the spreading of the hermetic philosophy which has been my task throughout the ages.
