No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

It's hard not to think that behind that strange script and all that complex imagery lies a belief, a way of seeing the world, a philosophy, if you will. All this work wasn't done for pure entertainment, but to convey an idea. I believe the key idea being conveyed is the astral influence on plants. This is what we can deduce from the imagery, where there is practically nothing but herbs and stars.
  
The VM script, as I see it, is just a consequence of that idea. The authors represented it with all those images and then created a kind of ad hoc language. A language that isn't really a language, but a simple notation of astronomical symbols.
