No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

In relation to the magical thinking alluded to in my previous post, I believe that there is not enough reflection on an obvious fact: the Voynich is an astrological herbal. Defining what it is represents an important step in unraveling the nature of the codex. When you pick up a book from a shelf, you immediately know whether it's a book on mathematics, history, or natural sciences. In the case of the Voynich, its most accurate definition is this: an astrological herbal.

  It may seem like something unimportant, but it is important because it forces us to think differently, to connect with a mindset that is no longer part of our world. To put it another way: you have to think outside the box.
