Throughout runs the theme of incantation– calling on forces stronger than one’s self to help one meet the challenge of the moment, hovering between daring and regret." And Noe herself seems an interesting woman.

In searching for Noe, some results included "Lion Dreams". Looks like a song from another album, The Summer Storm Journals.

Noe is a form of the name Noah (Blue-Green Abelard), while Venable is from the Latin for "hunting-spear."
