First and foremost it depends on where you are.
Example:
If I find a ladder in a Bible, you can see a way to God from it.
But if I see this ladder in a battle chronicle, it is most likely to be a storm ladder with which one can overcome walls.
Sometimes it is a medical device and sometimes one for torture.
A farmer would say you need it to harvest apples and pears.
In the end it is just a ladder. The book makes it what it represents and not the other way around.


The way I see it, you take details from the book of Genesis or Old Testament.
But since I can hardly find any religious symbol in the VM, I would not look for similar ones in a Bible or similar.
Science is science, and religion is religion. The VM author seems to keep this well.
Therefore it is almost impossible that I would follow your theory, even if it is well explained.
I'm sorry.

Where does the bible come into it with regard to my quire 13 theory? I am following the flow of water around the ecumene, talking about the history of geography and hydrology, with some smatterings of Greek philosophy thrown in. I think the vms authors eschew the biblical Genesis in favour of a more scientific earth history that goes far past 6000 years. I think the zodiac section goes with it, with the nymphs there also standing for civilization but this time not of place, but of time, specifically a great year, the time it takes for a cycle of precession to occur, about 26000 years. This is why they are unclothed in most of the sections, and why they are unclothed in quire 13 also, because we are talking speculations on what occurred pre written history, pre bible. I get a sense of archeology being involved also.

With regard to your flow directions, they work out for some of my interpretations. For me the lower ones in the bunch, are to me alpine rivers.

6 Araxes, flowing north and east (works)
3 Drin, doesn't work, points outward but rivers would flow the other way. 
5 Alpine Rhine, north (works)
8 Dnieper, doesn't work at the mouth, unless it is showcasing backflow from the black sea into the river. The rest is ambiguous.

The upper examples are more showing silt deposits in my opinion. 

With regard to the flow question re You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. i think it is from top to bottom, as follows:

From hot springs at the base of Mount Ararat into a river tube, being the Euphrates, which flows past mountains where another river tube arises and runs parallel (Tigris), they then join, get jumbled up, create some strange eddies, then flow together into the Persian Gulf. Pre history they continued through this area directly into the greater sea.
