Donna Darkwolf with A Dream in Her Eyes

“Spice" by Steve Rice, from Donna's music collection - that we would waltz-tango to, in our kichen while we cooked dinner.
Above: Mysterious Lady Donna Darkwolf posing in our garden, for "A Dream in Your Eyes". A chapter in her new-to-be, never-published book.
Such is my Bellissima Donna Strega.

Donna Darkwolf Publicity and Media Photography - The Presence in My Camera

Donna had a way with being the subject of scrutiny. Especially in front of the camera.
Because she herself - is A Presence.
She either disregarded its presence entirely. Or she played to it.
Not "acting", or being an "actress", mind you.
Disregard for The Camera happened because Donna was so intent on talking with the interviewer - the camera did not exist.
Playing to The Camera was entirely Donna addressing her "audience" directly.
If Donna is looking 'at' the camera, she is actually watching you, the viewer, just as she would if you tere there in her presence.

Some of the images in this Photo-Essay are from TV interviews, and others from magazine and journal interviews.
Some others Donna and I produced for two books Donna was writing -

One was entitled: "May I Write Your Story" -
the outline of which appears on this site, in the category: "Writings".

The other was to be a book about us, entitled: "The Immortal Kiss of The Witch and The Soldier".
Excerpts of which occur throughout this website.

She is The Phases of The Moon

Elected as the first President of the Pagan Federation of South Africa from 1996 to 2001, Donna founded Circle of the African Moon (CAM) in 2001. CAM was created to form a network dedicated to educating the public on Paganism so as to dispell misinformation and misconceptions about Paganism through media interaction and inter-faith dialogue and activities.

Donna directed this photo-shoot to achieve her Kali pose - which blew the minds of Cosmo's readers.
And elicited a lot of mail to the publishers - and enquiries to Donna herself.

Donna Darkwolf's Uraeus Egyptian Serpent tattoo

My Beautiful Serpent at The Gate

Uraeus - The Serpent, or Snake, is one of the oldest and most widespread mythological symbols. In some cultures, Serpents are fertility symbols. In other cultures, Serpents symbolize the umbilical cord, joining all humans to Mother Earth, or were worshipped as guardians of her mysteries of birth and regeneration.

Donna & The WOLF Paint It Black

I see a red door / And I want it painted black
I see a line of cars / And they're all painted black
If I look hard enough / Into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me / Before morning comes

My Immortal Donna leaves a trail of stars across the parking lot.

She Comes in Colors Everywhere

She combs her hair / She's like a Rainbow. My Immortal Donna leaves a trail of stars across the parking lot, as we head for hr Sunday birthday breakfast.

As Pharoah Nefertiti

I thought that with her patrician features, and the addition of her Pharoah's crown and some eyeliner, Donna would fit the persona of Nefertiti.

   Donna being interviewed by M-Net's "Carte Blanche", while she sits regally in her high wing-back chair.
  Finally... There ARE No Words. Just: Serenity
  Not a day goes by, that I don't think of her. She is my guiding Light. The Fire that burns inside my Heart. Mia Donna Ragazza. My Beautiful Girl.

Donna Darkwolf giving a magazine interview

Donna Darkwolf's Thousand Year Stare. When you see this! Nothing will follow.
The audience is over. You have become transparent and invisible to her.

Donna Darkwolf about to turn the air blue

Like a Lone Wolf. . .
Because wolves are independent.
They may work together - but you can never tell when one of them might  go solo. . . One just might. 
Watch me!

However... BE AWARE!
Try and cross her, or meddle in her work, work against her or conive behind her back? Many have faced her Fury and Absolute Wrath.
Have been scalded and singed by her whithering words. . . bruised and broken by her razor-sharp invective. . . and cursed until the very air turned BLUE.

You DO NOT want to be within the blast radius when she goes Super Nova.

If the Donna Darkwolf can drag the South African Air Force to the Equity Court for unfair dismissal, and reach a settlement with the South African Air Force after two years of legal proceedings?

You will understand... the Donna Darkwolf WILL come after you -
with her own Legal Counsel, and "see you In Court".

Then you will definitely be: "In Bocca Al Lupo": 'In The Mouth Of The Wolf'.


You DO NOT want to be There. Trust me.
To have the Wolf's teeth around your throat ?
You'll soon come around. . .
