Be Warned: She starts as just a whisper...sper...per... And gets LOUD!
You can hear the rapid pace of The Wolf running in the snow... Unstoppable...
Relentless... Chasing down her prey...
She Absolutely Will NOT STOP... And YOU! Are
That Prey... RUN!
- 24 02 1962 > 07 07 2017 -
Take Special Note of the Three Sevens
The UNSTOPPABLE Spirit
There is no lament for The Fallen Warrior.
Only a desire to be as Wise and Bold of Spirit
No Living Thing can Seek the Light for Ever.
Not Find It. And Not Be Changed.
The Donna Darkwolf found The Light.
And where she did not find it – she made the Light.
And Changed It. BY the Sheer FORCE OF HER WILL.
Bringing Light into the many lives, minds and hearts of those she touched.
William Jennings Bryan said:
"Destiny is not a matter of chance... It is a matter of choice".
Memories are designed to fade... Many things fade from memory.
The one lasting element that never fades ? Is greatness.
That Monument of the Mind. And your only shot at immortality.
That those that follow, Remember!
There is no sadness in the death of a Warrior.
Only a desire to burn as brightly.
Donna Darkwolf enriched the spiritual life of all those that came into
contact with her. All those she taught...
(And all those who bore the brunt of her occasional fury).
There is no lament for the fallen Warrior, because the Warrior knows the
end for what it will be.
Truth! Either way.
This is a Story of Songs. And of Sacred Places.
This is the Story of a Hero. A Tale of Victory!
You pick up your spear, and your shield and get into the battle.
And you either return victorious, or upon your shield.
What else is there?
When one proceeds into the battle, there is only one motto:
"You WILL DO! or You will DIE TRYING! In Battle!"
Get out there and SHINE!"
And The Donna Darkwolf shines... Steps into Harms Way. Sword drawn. Unstoppable
- Against the dark.
The SKY CALLS...
To HONOUR the memory of
Wiccan Arch-Priestess, The Donna Darkwolf, on behalf of the
Wiccan/Pagan organization: Circle of the African Moon, her multitude of
colleagues and associates, her many friends and her acolytes and students.
To PROVIDE hope to those who seek an end-of-life choice to exit
this realm by means of suicide;
"Be mindful! That there is NO Courage without Fear!
Fear will pass above and below you.
Around, and through you.
And, in the end, all that will be left
Is YOU!"
To OFFER a beacon of resolution for the choice of suicide.
Suicide is an internal choice. It has no connection to other people.
What other people may think? That is for them, and not a concern for you.
You HAVE TO LIVE TO YOUR STANDARD, in the choice of suicide, as an exit
strategy.
This website is an enduring testimony to the
spirit and mindfulness, of The Donna Darkwolf in her last days.
Resolute. Determined. Courageous.
Happy, and at Peace with her Soul.
The best and only thing I can offer about my Shiny Wife's choices?
She is
Unique. In Military parlance, describing Valour?
That quality is referred to as:
"FOR VALOUR. MOST UNCOMMON".
Soldiers win medals for THIS!
Donna was comfortable: With enough money to live well. With her mental
and physical functions intact.
Yet, with the knowledge they were declining.
With the capacity to recognize that she was not going to wait for the
"inevitable end", when she could
no longer exercise her WILL.
"Better to draw the curtain on the final play, ones self", she said,
"Than leave it to the hands of the short-sighted, grieving, greedy, unprepared,
unknowing and unloving."
"If you were loosing your mental and physical capabilities, and the path
was leading to a
frail care facility where you would eventually forget your own name,
and other people would be wiping your arse for you - Would
YOU CALL THAT
LIVING?"
"Or, would you rather die with dignity at a time and place, of your own
choosing?"
"When soldiers go to war, to fight in great battles, no one calls their
actions 'suicide' ".
This is no different. Donna Darkwolf set off to fight a great battle.
And won!
"Better to die trying, In Battle - than as a wretched hospital statistic!"
One day, my Shiny Wife, Donna Darkwolf, picked up her spear and her shield,
and set out on her epic Voyage, across the Undiscovered Country.
THIS is her magnificent journey to Freedom!
UN-STOPPABLE - My Only Love and Beautiful Friend
JUST REMEMBER... A MAP! - IS NOT THE TERRAIN!
She wrote: "Anything, everything, little or big - becomes an adventure
when you are sharing it with the right person.
"Fortune has smiled upon me. I have my own Soldier to protect and hold
me.
A battle-scarred Soldier. A single, lone Soldier".
"He answers to me... And Only to Me. He is the only one who fulfils My
Destiny".
"Understand: in terms of soldiering, NOTHING is simple.
These are merely descriptive terms... to describe a single component,
of a MISSION".
"You are NOT on a mission... You ARE THE MISSION!
Gear Up! Look PRETTY! It IS a Fine Day for VICTORY!"
"A Dark Wolf and a Wolf with a Silver Tongue:
"Make us a course out of here, my Dear Minion!
WE ARE the Angels.... Everywhere. For One Thousand Yards....
Make It So!
GET ON THE READY LINE!
Ts time to die!
Pick Up Your Spear. Battle is upon us!"
GET OUT THERE - AND SHINE!
Donna wrote me:
"I know I will not un-honored rest
The symbol of Time shall not reap
My still heart from my torn breast
While the myriad millions sleep
For I have you - My Soldier
Who will my Own Heart Keep
ROMA VICTOR!
Donna Darkwolf"
I am called Franco
I am the Keeper of Donna Darkwolf's Heart
I am Soldier
I Serve All My Days - In the service of my Priestess
My Witch
My Shiny Wife
The Donna Darkwolf
MINE is The Honour!
16 July 2017
I created this in in 1987. I "found" Donna Darkwolf in 2007.
Only after Donna did I understand, what I meant
The Donna Darkwolf found The Light.
And where she did not find it – she MADE the Light.
And Changed It. BY the Sheer FORCE OF HER WILL.
And sometimes in the country. Only occasionally in the city, and then it must be beautiful...
My final message as I prepare to make my voyage into the vast Undiscovered Country
I loved, and was loved - Wisely and Well... A Life most fully lived. Could I have wished for more than this?
If you dine out, find places that are comfortable, and that make you feel at home...
I finally took the leap, to go and explore the world of Me, haven't travelled this much in so long...
- and smile. It is better to forget me, than to remember me and cry..."
My adventurous days...
Donna Darkwolf at Ritual
My new journey...
Read: South African Pagans remember Donna Darkwolf on "The Wild Hunt" - Pagan News & Commentary website. Written by Damon Leff, it is based on his interviews with several of Donna's friends, colleagues and associates. It provides a rare glimpse into the way Donna touched the lives of so many people.
(Left: A decal I had made,
to put of the case that contains our pair
of fluted wine glasses Donna had bought us, for Christmas.
It describes a certain aspect of the Donna Darkwolf in JUST five words!
"Underestimate" at your own peril.
Which sends Donna into peals of laughter every time she takes the glasses
out of their case, on Saturdays or special occassions...
I was fortunate enough to only rarely have been the target of her
Weapon of Voice -
which can strip paint from walls at 50 meters, or cause mobile phones
to either
melt, OR explode!
