⏀ NΦⵣMA PΦⵣMA – Second Edition

Featured

NΦⵣMA PΦⵣMA—(Nóēma Poēma)—is the completion of a life long soul contract. Ever since I was a young girl, I knew that I was going to write a book, but I did not know how the heck I was going to do it, and I had no idea of just how broad the scope of the project would be when I started it.

There were many times along the 38-year trajectory of writing and compiling when I thought that this ‘calling’ would never be fully realised and I could not see how it could happen, especially as someone who is Clairsentient, I feel the information as resonance first, which I decode into language later.

This is no easy task, as I do not think in words, I am a visual thinker, plus, I find that language tends to flatten out, or standardise a meaning and so it requires some unpicking. I do this by breaking a concept down into much smaller digestible chunks, often painting a visual collage with words so that it can be understood by everyone. This invariably involves a process of sitting with complex concepts, figuring out how multiple factors fit together and looking at the underlying truth behind the symbolism beforehand, sometimes for years.

I chose not to go with an electronic PDF format this time, as I much prefer to hold a traditional analogue artefact in my hands, as I believe that there is still something rather magical and special about handling an actual book; the feel, the weight, the smooth tactile touch, the smell of freshly cut paper, printed ink, and the sound of the page as it turns, which through the act of physical engagement enables the memory to better retain information.

As the printed page is gradually replaced by LCD / OLED screens, these acts of tacit engagement are to be valued and cherished in a digital age. Iconic tech giants use of the word ‘kindle’ hints at the humble page disappearing up in smoke, or even at some kind of planned obsolescence of books, or trees, or both. Why aren’t we using hemp instead of trees anyway?

Interestingly, the word manuscript contains the word ‘manu‘, from the Latin ‘manus’ which means hand, and scriptus, meaning ‘to write’ which historically translates to ‘written by hand’. In addition to ‘hand‘, the pages also have a ‘header’, a ‘footer’, a ‘body’ (of text), the book has a ‘spine’, and in older days a book was often covered with vellum, animal ‘skin‘, and so these parts of the book resemble a body from head to toe, with its own unique story, or personality.

hardcover

NΦⵣMA PΦⵣMA has been a labour of love spanning a writing trajectory that began in the innocent 1980’s, the last pre-digital decade of the 20th Century, embarking upon a journey of rapid change into a post-digital and post socially-distanced 21st Century, concluding with redefining three significant pillars of human experience:

1.The Recovery of True History: I bypassing mainstream historical amnesia and patriarchal revisions to excavate a timeline recovery of former matrilineal tribes, societies and empires who respected and upheld the Toroidal Earth as a living system of divine intelligence that is self-generating and abundant.

2.Metaphysical Etymology and Acoustic Science: I use acoustic synthesis to shape language and music into a vehicle for psychospiritual evolution—In my sonic practice, poems transformed into conscious house music encourages listeners to physically embody gnosis through the ritual of dance.

3.Absolute Sovereignty over the Matrix Grid: Through a metaphysical synthesis of toroidal physics and pattern recognition, I reverse-engineer the self-generating torus as the matrilineal blueprint for a worldwide harmonic convergence between biology and consciousness—offering a functional solution for reclaiming spiritual sovereignty in a modern technological world.

The 2026 Second Edition of the NΦⵣMA PΦⵣMA Codex is not a stand alone book. While it weaves poems, manifestos, transmissions, leading edge thought, autotheory, autoethnography and research together into one volume, it also links into visual book arts, sonic arts, interactive digital materiality, python code, song lyrics, music albums, video imaging, graphic design, streetwear, small publishing, and mythopoetic authorship, providing multiple pathways to embody gnosis through distinctively human acts of engagement, such as: reading, thinking, listening, looking, dancing and wearing.

iPoem’s Blog further serves as a companion site for each of the 137 titles that appear in the 448 page Noēma Poēma codex, providing a summarised review and a deeper dive into the mechanics of each poem, why the poem matters and its relevance in the collection.

The NΦⵣMA PΦⵣMA codex is designed to be read sequentially, chapter by chapter, at least once to gain a generational overview, whereby I actively encourage bookmarking pages, using a highlighter for verses or paragraphs that resonate, looking up unfamiliar words, making notes in the margins, and going back to dip in, as some of the concepts are quite complex as the content is very concentrated, so it can take time to unpack. It is definitely a book that inspires spherical—’outside-of-the-box’—thinking.

Softcover

In Toroidal physics, the completion of the hardcopy book represents a 38-year cycle of nonphysical centripetal blueshift compression—the synthesis of complex concepts and ideas—into the centrifugal redshift expansion—the embodiment of physical method and form. This is the universal inhale that precipitates the exhale that all toroidal energy systems follow, from the microcosm to the macrocosm.

I choose the Phi (⏀) , the Yaz (ⵣ) and the orientation (⌖) symbols for my front and back cover designs specifically to represent the torus field, with a vertical hyperbolic shaft through the middle, intersected by a horizontal inertial plane of equilibrium.

I chose the orientation symbol (⌖) to represent being able to navigate the ever shifting energy of the toroidal field, as it constantly turns itself inside out, cycling between states of expansion and compression.

Shortly afterwards, I discovered that this symbol is also known as the ‘Cross of Neith‘—the emblem of the ancient Egyptian Goddess Neith, known as the Great Mother, the creator of the world and the primordial weaver of wisdom, from the ancient city of Sais (Zau, Sa el-Hagar) in the 5th Nome of Lower Egypt in the Delta, whose sanctuary bore the inscription: “I am all that has been, and is, and shall be, and my veil no mortal has yet uncovered.”

According to the Iunyt (Esna) cosmology, as Neith was the creator of the world, she was also the mother of the Sun, (Ra), making Neith the mother of all of the gods. In my cosmology, Neith represents the Parthenogenetic Torus Field. The circle with a cross represents the Inertial Plane intersecting the Hyperbolic Axis—the geometry of the toroidal earth, demonstrating that the ancients were well aware of the torus earth and the spiritual matriarchal significance, predating christianity by at least three thousand years.

This same Cross of Neith is featured on the 13th-Century Welsh battle standard of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, defending the matrilineal sovereignty of Wales against the encroaching patriarchal overthrow of the English Crown. The 1282 Welsh flag depicts a golden torus upon a purple background, representing true sovereign royalty.

Reclaiming this symbol is a call to remember one’s inner sovereign allegiance to the Great Mother Torus as a living system of spiritual intelligence—the self-generating unified field of quantised dielectric and electromagnetic energy, where the dielectric field (centripetal, inward-drawing) and the magnetic field (centrifugal, outward-expanding) are in dynamic balance, creating a stable, non-dissipative system.

To identify with this symbol is to restore the visibility of the Great Mother Torus and weave a new reality where true sovereignty is remembered through resonance.

Neith was one of the oldest and most powerful goddesses in ancient Egyptian mythology, worshipped from the Predynastic period through the Roman era. Her name reflects her immense authority as a primordial creator deity who emerged from the chaotic waters of Nun to weave the universe into existence. She was a multifaceted deity associated with war, hunting, weaving, wisdom, and childbirth. As a warrior, she was known as the “Mistress of the Bow” and “Ruler of Arrows,” (Sagittarius) often depicted wearing a Deshret, the Red Crown of Lower Egypt, holding a bow and shield. As Neith was a creator and mother goddess, she was revered as the “Great Mother” and the mother of Ra (the sun god), Sobek (the crocodile god), and sometimes Apep (the chaos serpent). She represents:

1) Wisdom and Justice: Neith was consulted by other gods to settle disputes, such as ruling in favor of Horus over Set in the Contendings of Horus and Set.

2) Signature Symbol: Her primary emblems were crossed arrows over a shield (archery) and possibly a weaving shuttle (creation/domestic arts) which I postulate is shaped more like a Vesica Piscis, the hyperbolic shaft viewed from the side, the throat of the torus where the inward and outward currents meet in perfect stillness.

3) Home: Her main sanctuary was in Sais in the Nile Delta, where she was identified by the Greeks with Athena.

“The ancient city dates back to 3,000 B.C, however habitation at the site extends back to the pre-dynastic and Neolithic period, from at least 4,200 B.C. It was the provincial capital of the fifth nome of Lower Egypt, known as Sap-Meh. During the twenty-fourth dynasty of Egypt, spanning from 732–720 BC, Sais was the seat of power. At that time, it was known as Zau. This ancient city is well-known for many reasons. According to ancient texts, during the Pharaonic Era (around 3,000 B.C.) Sais was “cult center of the creator-and war-goddess – Neith.” Later, it was Egypt’s pharaonic capital. During the eponymous Saite Period (664-525 BC), Sais was a ceremonial center for kings. Greek historian, Herodotus, described Sais as a “great city,” declaring that it was the location of the grave of Osiris, the Egyptian god of the afterlife. Ancient Greek historians and scholars, including Herodotus, Plato and Diodorus Siculus, all identified Neith with Athena and even suggested a primordial link to Athens. Diodorus wrote that goddess Athena built Sais before the deluge that supposedly destroyed Athens and Atlantis. While all Greek cities were destroyed during that cataclysm, the Egyptian cities including Sais survived.” – M R Reese.

4) Funerary Goddess: Alongside Isis, Nephthys, and Serket, she protected the deceased’s transition into the afterlife.

QBut what the heck is a torus you ask? Well that is a very good question and I am glad you asked!

AThe torus is the fundamental geometric pattern of a self-sustaining energy flow, where energy moves through a central axis, radiates outward, and returns through the poles in a continuous, self-referential loop. This structure represents the unified field of quantised dielectric and electromagnetic energy, where the dielectric field (centripetal, inward-drawing) and the magnetic field (centrifugal, outward-expanding) are in dynamic balance, creating a stable, non-dissipative system.

In this framework, the torus is not merely a static shape but a living system of spiritual intelligence, embodying the principle that matter and energy are manifestations of a coherent, organised flow. This pattern applies to all energy across all scales of existence—demonstrating the Hermetic axiom “As above, so below,” where the microcosm reflects the macrocosm.

The human heart generates the body’s strongest electromagnetic field, forming a personal toroidal field that can extend from several feet to several miles beyond the physical form, acting as the central broadcasting station for emotional and energetic coherence.

The toroidal field also serves as the bridge between the physical and spiritual dimensions, facilitating a self-generating cycle of creation and return. This continuous flow symbolises wholeness, unity, and the interconnectedness of all life, suggesting that consciousness itself is a property of this coherent, self-organising energy structure. By aligning with this natural pattern, individuals can achieve energetic balance, enhanced intuition, synchronicity, serendipity and a deeper connection to the universal toroidal field that underlies all creation.

Previously in my book I would symbolically name the Centripetal blueshift as The Sophia (Gnosis) and the Centrifugal redshift as the Christos (Embodied Gnosis), the proverbial marriage of heaven and earth, of the nonphysical spiritual with the physical material. These are the divine twins of creation, the blueshift and the redshift of a dielectric magneto and electromagnetic torus field that sustains our universe. There is no negative (-) pole as they are both positive (+) expressions of the same energy.

NΦⵣMA PΦⵣMA (pronounced Nóēma Poēma) is a genre-defying body of poetics that transcends traditional literary boundaries, weaving manifesto, verse, transmission, philosophy, and invocation into a multidimensional map of the soul. Spanning nearly four decades of radical research and creativity. NΦⵣMA PΦⵣMA pulses with fierce devotion to truth, liberation, and love, grounded in ancestral matrilineal wisdom. This is poetry as praxis. Art as resistance. Philosophy as heartbeat—a spiritual document for those who feel the world cracking open, knowing that now is the time to reclaim sovereignty, embody gnosis, and return to Source. NΦⵣMA PΦⵣMA is a rich, evolving mythopoetic narrative that blends avant-garde noetics and didactic instruction with storytelling and semi-fictional autotheory—a journey from the personal and intimate into the cosmic and transcendent. Read it slowly. Read it aloud. Let it rewire something ancient within you—Cat Catalyst is a multimodal artist, avant-garde noetic poet and creatrix of ecofeminist house music.

✩ 99. Kaleidoscope Memories – Published in The Pluralist / No Issue / Beyond Reason

One cannot help but bear-witness to pandemic storm-clouds-of-contagion, earthquake, volcano, fire, flood and landslide

Ubiquitously sweeping, shaking, erupting, raging, surging, far-and-wide

While many of the world’s leaders profess ‘geo-thermal-fracking-as-usual’ with heads buried-deep in dunes-of-denial

And so, in the face of multiple-global-crises, one is forced to shop elsewhere for spiritual gnoses and emotional renewal

Further afield than the aisles of neon-lit supermarket-dreams and dot-com same-day-deliveries

Further afield than high-brow department-store life-style fantasies

Laid out like scenes from the silver-screen in elaborate window-displays and glossy magazines

Further than the online prime-time trailer, box-set, binge-watch seduction

Plethora’s-of-perfectly-packaged-illusions to provide temporary-alleviation

From the overwhelming threat of global-annihilation

From sexist-racist, elitist-ageist denigration

Or from rust-riddled-regrets on constant-rotation

Mourning the ghosts of narrowly-missed, sugar-coated ships-of-desire that set-sail long-ago

Or impossible-to-forget childhood-traumas, bereavements, divorces, augmenting serial-self-love-deficit-disorders

Inescapable neuroses, seared into one’s psyche, branded like slaves-to-key-frame-memories

Leaving a trail-of-distorted, aborted-destinies behind in their wake

Yet another empty-void, full-of-emotional gaping-holes to fill as the planet is systematically plundered and destroyed

By the addictive machine-of-consumerism, where ecological-sustainability and wellbeing is wilfully-sacrificed

With nothing left, except the bitter-aftertaste of a forfeit-future…

This is how we welcome 130-million new-born ‘kidults’ into the world every-year, weaned upon html and social-media

Whose childhood-innocence and genetic-lineages were surgically-removed at birth

Stolen by neo-narcissists ‘neath smog-filled skies, where bright-futures turned grey

Dumbed-down by smart-technology and antidepressants

And yet, in-spite-of-all-this, some intrinsic built-in desire to seek-out and search for truth-and-authenticity, persists

Sends out its call like a beacon, calling upon every human-soul to awaken, to activate one’s innate inner-knowing, like a homing-device

Beckons to journey far-beyond the comfort and safety of objects, or co-dependent relationships

To look past the emotional barbed-wire snags-and-grazes of parental/ professional/ romantic/ societal lies and betrayal

Or the nettle’s-sting of missed-opportunity

In lieu of moving-forwards, towards new desires-satisfied, and revised goals-fulfilled, collectively

For nothing stays-the-same and ‘change’ is always the one, true, ever-quickening-constant


Henceforth, it is in the ‘unspoken-moments’ where humanity happens

Where one quietly pieces-together water-colour-poems, sifted and fathomed from kaleidoscope-memories

Dreaming in silent smoky-swirls and mirror-gleam sunbeams

Peeling off rose-candy-coloured gels from the lids of one’s eyes

Like fleshy onion-skin layers of reflective-introspection

As one wakes from the lucid-dream-state with the revelatory-understanding

That in a vibrational-universe-of-Energy, every thought and feeling is eternal and therefore accountable

As non-physical energy can never die, nor expire, it can only change form

Transformed by an awareness of one’s perennial-vibrational-offering

Atonement through candour and a willingness to upgrade one’s most-frequent-point-of-focus

As an integral requisite of self-care, a daily-practice

By virtue of LOVE, whether for self, others, or Source

Is still the purest-form-of-energy in the Multiverse. ✩

30. Land of the Dreamtime

Review of Land of the Dreamtime

This poem beautifully captures the liminal space between night and day, earth and sky, past and future—a transformative moment experienced while flying high above the world. The opening line immediately places the reader in a timeless and almost magical moment of transition:

“Sunday, or is it Monday?
A magical alchemical moment
At 36,500 feet”


The ambiguity of time here mirrors the fluidity of consciousness during a flight, a space where earthly concerns momentarily dissolve.

The poem evokes a strong sensory and emotional connection to Australia, described as a place of spiritual awakening and homecoming:

“As soon as we approached the tip of Australia
Somehow I knew, without knowing
Except that I felt it
She welcomed me
With a silent electric storm”


The personification of Australia as a welcoming, almost sentient entity sets the tone of reverence and intimacy. The “silent electric storm” is a striking image—a paradox of power and calm, mystery and illumination.

Vivid visual imagery draws the reader into the aerial view:

“A most spectacular aerial view
Looking down upon the flashes and flares
Lighting the clouds below from inside
Illuminating their contours and form
As if they were hollow”


This is a moment of awe and wonder, a celestial perspective that expands beyond the physical journey into the metaphysical. The clouds “illuminated from inside” evoke a sense of inner light and spiritual illumination.

The transition to daylight acts as a metaphor for renewed hope and possibility:

“At last, daylight!
Glowing subtly over the edges of the Earth
Mesmerised by the unfolding scene”


The “edges of the Earth” phrase evokes the feeling of entering a new phase or realm, a fresh beginning.

The poem then reflects on Australia as a “magical process of creative visualisation / And dreaming,” emphasising the power of intention and hope in shaping reality. The poet identifies as a dreamer, finding resonance in the “Land of the Dreamtime,” a term rich with Indigenous Australian cultural significance that evokes ancient spiritual stories and connection to the land.

The symbolic journey “Following the yellow brick road / To the Sagittarius heartlands” blends personal mythology with archetypal imagery, suggesting a quest for wholeness, purpose, and connection with the sacred feminine:

“In search of wholeness and connection
With the Great Mother, Nature
With the land, the ocean, the sky
The untamed presence of big country”


Here, the natural world becomes both the destination and the guide, embodying a spiritual path and inner calling.

Conclusion

Land of the Dreamtime is a luminous meditation on journeying—physical, emotional, and spiritual. It blends the wonder of travel with a deep yearning for belonging and connection to the land and to self. The poet’s use of vivid natural imagery and mythic symbolism creates a rich tapestry of feeling, inviting readers to contemplate their own inner callings and the magic of returning home, in whatever form that may take.

29. Portal of Opportunity

Review of Portal of Opportunity (Sunday 8th October 2000)

Portal of Opportunity captures a poignant emotional moment in the poet’s life—a liminal space between past efforts and future possibilities, between places, identities, and inner desires. It’s a raw, honest reflection on restlessness, longing, and the bittersweet tension of change.

The poem opens with a paradox:

“Had a really great night
In fact it was so great
I felt thoroughly miserable
”

This juxtaposition immediately conveys the complexity of human experience—the interplay of joy and melancholy, fulfillment and loss. The speaker is caught in a moment where something wonderful exists, yet the imminent departure from it casts a shadow:

“At the prospect of having to leave it all behind
And go to Australia, damn!
”

This abrupt “damn!” carries a tone of frustration and resistance, emphasizing the emotional weight of leaving a place and life that finally feels right.

The poem reveals a recurring cycle of ambition and displacement:

“Just as it starts to get good here
I put the time in, turn everything around
And then I don’t stick around long enough
To reap the rewards of all my hard work
”

This confession of restlessness is deeply relatable. The poet recognizes a pattern of moving on too soon, of chasing “greener pastures,” which ironically means not fully harvesting the fruits of past efforts. This sense of impermanence and unfinished business permeates the piece.

The relationship with London is personified beautifully:

“But London doesn’t want to let me go
And she has lured me to stay behind before”

London becomes almost a seductive force—both a place of distraction and a binding influence. The poet’s yearning for Australia, the “original dream,” stands in contrast to the seductive pull of familiar surroundings, illustrating the inner tug-of-war between comfort and aspiration.

A central motif of the poem is the idea of the “portal” or “window of opportunity”:

“Momentary portal of transformation
Which if stepped through
Irreversibly transforms the course of one’s life
”

This image of a fleeting gateway to profound change is compelling. The poet mourns a missed chance in the past, but holds onto hope that “now I believe is here again / Another momentary portal of opportunity / A second chance.” The language here conveys both urgency and possibility, reminding readers that life often offers multiple chances to shift course.

The final lines reveal the speaker’s emotional and physical context—“deeply ensconced in London living,” feeling the weight of the “treadmill of survival” and the dreariness of “cold, and the rain / And the miserable London grey.” This grounding in sensory detail heightens the poem’s sense of confinement and longing for freedom.

Stylistically, the poem’s free verse form and conversational tone create intimacy and immediacy, inviting readers into the poet’s internal dialogue. The lack of punctuation and enjambment mirrors the flow of restless thoughts and emotional turbulence.

Conclusion

Portal of Opportunity is a deeply personal meditation on change, missed chances, and the cyclical nature of hope and hesitation. The poet’s honest vulnerability and vivid imagery make this a compelling exploration of how we grapple with transitions—both geographic and spiritual—and the elusive nature of timing in our lives. It’s a reminder that opportunities often return, even when we least expect them, and that transformation is always within reach if we are willing to step through the portal.

12. Australian Legacy

Photographs by Annabel Moeller

Australian Legacy is a lyrical and deeply personal reflection on displacement, transformation, and the enduring imprint of place upon the self. Through its meditative tone and evocative imagery, the poem charts an inner landscape shaped by contrast—between belonging and alienation, between memory and present reality, between the self before and after a pivotal journey.

The poem opens with a decisive line: “The window of opportunity closed behind me / When I left London for Australia.” It introduces a tone of quiet finality and signals a turning point not only in geography, but in identity. This is not simply a poem about travel—it is a poem about metamorphosis. The speaker returns from Australia changed, internally expanded, only to find that the external world has remained static and unaccommodating: “Now I’m back and nothing here has changed / Only me, on the inside.”

This contrast—between inner growth and outer familiarity—forms the emotional tension at the heart of the poem. The speaker’s sense of estrangement from London is articulated with understated melancholy: “I feel less like I belong here than before.” Yet this dissonance is not framed as a failure, but as evidence of evolution. The emotional centre of gravity shifts toward Australia, which is evoked not as a distant place, but as an intrinsic presence—“in my blood / My bones / My breath.” These lines are delivered with rhythmic conviction, echoing the physicality of the connection, and building to the powerful affirmation: “You are my soul / Within and without.”

The language is intimate and unadorned, yet rich in feeling. The poem’s structure—a single flowing stanza without punctuation—mirrors the stream of consciousness through which memory and present experience blend. This fluid form allows the reader to move with the speaker through reflections on place, self, and longing, without interruption or pause. There is a natural rhythm that builds steadily from nostalgia to a gentle resolve.

The poem reaches a quiet crescendo in its final lines, shifting from inward reflection to an outward gesture of encouragement. The speaker’s internal affirmation becomes a message of resilience and inspiration: “Do not let this world crush your spirit / Endeavour to shine.” These lines transcend the autobiographical and speak universally to anyone who has felt displaced, dimmed, or disconnected. The metaphor that follows—“Don’t let the London grey / Stick to your butterfly wings”—is vivid and delicate, contrasting the dull weight of conformity with the fragile brilliance of individual spirit. The image of “iridescence” in the final line is especially resonant, suggesting an innate beauty that shifts and reveals itself only in the right light.

In conclusion, Australia Legacy is a heartfelt and finely tuned meditation on identity, belonging, and inner transformation. The poet succeeds in capturing the intangible yet profound ways in which place can shape selfhood, and how returning home can sometimes mean confronting the limits of familiarity. Through spare, evocative language and a deeply personal voice, the poem honours both the loss and the legacy of becoming oneself in a new landscape.
