Tiktok Theorist slop

[GracefulShinjo]

First of all this is a big reason why I don’t do TikTok and second as a practicing Wiccan/Druid/Celtic witch I must apologize for the idiocy from witches who are not millennials like I am (and I accidentally admitted my age group). While I am a supporter of talking about folk traditions in the Middle Ages and the impact the witch hunts had on society I don’t think the Voynich manuscript was created solely by women. To me it has always felt more like an alchemy notebook, drawing upon the different nodes in alchemy and ritualistic magic, something that might have piqued the interest of philosophers such as Ficino or Giovanni Pico della Mirandola who were interested in Neoplatonism and hermeticism (in fact della Mirandola wrote papers defending such practices and ideas and is considered by many Protestants to have been a Proto-Protestant because his opinions seemed to support what would later be argued by people such as Martin Luther and John Calvin, although he did later fall under the, shall I say toxic influence, of Savonarola). 

 Basically if I wasn’t certain the manuscript predated della Mirandola I would suggest this might have been part of his work as support for the rising interest in the pagan past.
