Alfred Douglas was born in Yorkshire, England in 1942. From a very young age, he was interested in the folklore, the European magical tradition, esoteric symbolism, and the work of Carl Jung. Douglas studied with Madeline Montalban, who was a student of Aleister Crowley in the 1930s.

From 1968 to 1971, Douglas collaborated with artist David Sheridan, son of author and astrologer Jo Sheridan, to create the Sheridan Douglas Tarot deck, which was published in 1972 to accompany Alfred Douglas's book The Tarot: the Origins, Meaning and Uses of the Cards.

“Sweet youth,
Tell me why, sad and sighing, thou dost rove
These pleasent realms? I pray thee speak me sooth
What is thy name?' He said, 'My name is Love.'
Then straight the first did turn himself to me
And cried, 'He lieth, for his name is Shame,
But I am Love, and I was wont to be
Alone in this fair garden, till he came
Unasked by night; I am true Love, I fill
The hearts of boy and girl with mutual flame.'
Then sighing, said the other, 'Have thy will,
I am the love that dare not speak its name.”
Alfred Douglas, Complete Works Ultimate Collection

“Play with my tears and feed upon my sighs,
But come, my love, before my heart has died.”
Alfred Douglas, The Complete Poems Of Lord Alfred Douglas
