Applying advanced but arcane methods of decryption that I am sworn never to reveal, I have rendered the first page of the manuscript:


""Before the beginning, there was this turtle. And the turtle was alone. And he looked around, and he saw his neighbor, which was his mother. And he lay down on top of his neighbor, and behold! she bore him in tears an oak tree, which grew all day and then fell over -- like a bridge. And lo! underneath the bridge there came a catfish. And he was very big. And he was walking. And he was the biggest he had seen. And so were the fiery balls of this fish, one of which is the sun, and the other, they called the moon."

There was a Terrence McKenna essay about the Voynich Manuscript that had a great line: “It’s the perfect occult artifact; the book nobody can read.”
