No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

One idea to reflect on when studying the VM is that of natural magic. At that time that expression had nothing to do with necromancy or summoning demons, but was just another part of science. The doctors of the Church admitted the hidden properties of herbs and precious stones and the astral influence on those hidden virtues.

Keeping this fact in mind is critical to understanding the Voynich. When you delve into that idea of natural magic as a science, you are not surprised to see in a medieval book a lot of strange herbs that we do not know along with a lot of cosmological diagrams.

I want to pass on this suggestion that serves to demystify the VM. This book is just a product of its time.
