De Wohl, Louis (1903-1961)

German-born astrologer who escaped to Britain from the Nazis and played a prominent part in the British psychological warfare campaign. Born January 24, 1903, in Berlin, as Ludwig von Wohl, he was a novelist, journalist, and film scriptwriter shortly before Hitler came to power. He learned astrology from Baron Harald Keun von Hoogerwoerd and became a professional astrologer. In 1937, he wrote I Follow My Stars. In his book The Stars of War and Peace (1952), de Wohl states that in 1935 he was invited to advise members of the Nazi party on astrological matters. He escaped to Britain as a refugee in the same year, where he practiced as an astrologer and wrote books on the subject.

Well the funny thing is that the blurb says "the renowned novelist Louis De Wohl", when in reality I get the feeling that many avid readers never even heard about De Wohl.

He wrote many historical novels, most of them about the lives of saints. He was catholic and his faith transpires from his books, however always in an elegant and open-minded way. He includes beautiful pages of philosophical and theological dialogue between charachters.

It is always surprising to me that as I get older I start to think of and remember what happened and what I learned at a very young age. My parents spoke German at home between themselves, but never with me, yet I think I know more German now than I did then. Obviously, we learn subliminally so why didn’t it work when I slept on my history book before a test?!

I had a wild friend at school (happily nothing illegal beyond speeding tickets) and my mother compared him to her best girl friend from Frankfurt, Ruth Lorch. Although she later became a Lady Commander of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre (a Roman Catholic order of knighthood under the protection of the Holy See), she was still pretty crazy when I met her in the 1950’s. She lived in England and I remember she always smoked cigarillos. When she was told by U.S. customs that they were banned in the U.S. she said she would stop importing them when they produced them in this country, and they let her take them in … the good old days
