I agree with you about the possible Hermetic influence in the Voynich. I said before that I didn't rule it out. The only thing is that your interpretation seemed somewhat heretical to me, and I believe the codex could have been produced in a monastery. There are enough Christian symbols in the Voynich to suggest that the philosophy underlying it is a Christianized Aristotelianism.
Not long ago, I wrote about the Hermes mosaic in Siena Cathedral, proof that he was a Christianized figure in the 15th century. I also wrote in another post about John Gower, a friend of Chaucer, and his Liber de quindecim stellis, a work attributed to Hermes and which lists fifteen stars, fifteen stones, and fifteen herbs.
I think we can more or less agree on the underlying thought behind the Voynich, but it's about interpreting the images well. I've already told you about my thoughts on pregnant female figures and their meaning. This is a fundamental aspect of the codex's iconography, and I'd like people to think more about it.
