You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (aer, ignis, aqua, terra, lapis) is a decent match for the Voynich hypothetical "five elements" in f77r
This five elements imagery between the woman on the left and the man on the right I do agree with! But I see it as part of pregnancy, not of a distillation process.

Note that the male figure is most likely breathing into the pipe - look at his puffed cheeks. "Breath" can mean creation, life.
I had not noticed that before. There was a lot of uncertainty in earlier centuries about what and how much the father contributed to a pregnancy.
