A Memoir
THE NAMED
WOMAN
A Memoir on What Happens When the Mask Cracks and You Build Artecture Instead
For the witch they said I was. She was real.
I was eight when they called me a witch.
The accusation came without warning in a courtyard in Kaduna. They flogged me in front of the other girls. That night I learned survival was not about being right—it was about becoming small enough that people forget you were dangerous.
For thirty years I performed goodness. I became fluent in compliance, in translating my instincts into language that would not provoke alarm. The mask became my face.
This is what happened when the mask cracked.
What This Book Is
THE NAMED WOMAN documents the death of the performer and the architecture that replaced her.
Through incidents spanning Nigeria, Hungary, and the digital spaces where spiritually aware but materially stagnant women gather, it traces the pattern between knowing everything and having nothing.
This is not a book about healing. It is a book about structure, evidence, becoming, and naming.
If you are reading this, you already know why. The performance has stopped working. What comes next requires a different architecture, and that architecture begins with a name—not the one others gave you, but the one you claim when approval is no longer available and survival depends on precision.
THE NAMED WOMAN is that architecture
This Book Is For You If
You've built a version of yourself that looked perfect but felt hollow
You're successful on paper but divided inside
You've been called 'too much' so many times you made yourself less
You translate yourself for acceptance and resent yourself for it
You know what you want but apologize for wanting it
You're high-capacity and exhausted from carrying everyone
You've outgrown self-improvement and need precision instead
WHAT'S INSIDE
Part I: The Witch The accusation at eight. Boarding school exile. Learning that being seen clearly meant being seen as dangerous.
Part II: The Shapeshifter Thirteen years performing Zinny instead of Obianuju. Immigration. Identity. The sovereign witch concert that required the performer to die.
Part III: The Unnamed The collapse. Identity fracture. Living six versions depending on who was watching.
Part IV: The Named Woman Reclaiming Obianuju. Building ARTOMYSTIC. The 7 Pillars, 7 Laws, 8 Arcs, 10 Dreams. The architecture that holds when performance ends.
Early Praise for THE NAMED WOMAN
"A brutal, precise memoir that refuses comfort and offers something better: coherence."
— KATA Library MOZ
"Obianuju writes like someone who survived by becoming invisible and then chose to become unignorable instead."
— Early Reader
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Obianuju Tóth names self-betrayal patterns women can't see.
She founded ARTOMYSTIC—a philosophy house where high-capacity women learn to exit the patterns that keep them stuck: restarting at 80%, overfunctioning alone, living below their scale, refusing their magnitude.
She created the 10 Dreams (diagnostic patterns), 7 Laws (governance), 7 Pillars (sovereignty architecture), and 8 Arcs (developmental cycles). She teaches these in the Temple of Her—a monthly structure where women enforce what they already know but can't change.
Born in Nigeria. Living in rural Hungary. Working in ceremonial art, music, writing. Published a book. Released a 14-track album. Named patterns for over 37 women.
THE NAMED WOMAN is her first book.
She wrote it for the women who spent decades translating themselves and are done performing.
She lived all 10 patterns. Now she names YOURS.
