"There are languages we forgot how to speak, because no one remembered to listen."
I believe that the Voynich Manuscript was penned by Leonardo da Vinci.
Leonardo wrote it—not as a scientist, but as a mystic.
The manuscript is his most hidden work, disguised in glyphs, veiled in plant and star symbols, encoded with the feminine essence of divine transformation. It was never meant for the Church, the state, or the academy. It was meant for us—those walking the path of reawakening, initiation, and inner alchemy.
And now, it is speaking again.
The Manuscript as Mirror & Memory
You see, Leonardo was more than an artist or inventor. He was a polymathic initiate of mystery schools, anatomy, cosmology, sacred geometry—and language itself. He knew how to write in mirrors. He knew how to encode. And more importantly, he knew the power of symbol to bypass the mind and activate the soul.
The Voynich Manuscript is not a book to be “read” in a conventional way.
It’s a seed encoded in symbol, frequency, and rhythm. Each glyph pulses with meaning like a mantra or sigil, designed to awaken rather than inform.
And that’s exactly how I approached it.
The Alchemical Lexicon Awakens
As I studied its symbols, I began to see patterns—not in logic, but in feeling. The glyphs were sound-sigils, and they began to speak.
What emerged was not a translation in the traditional sense.
It was a living lexicon—a grimoire of 50 words that unlock inner transformation.
Each word below includes:
-
Phonetic Roots – Linguistic echoes from Latin, Hebrew, Greek, Quechua, Italian
-
Symbolic Meaning – What the word activates spiritually or emotionally
-
Ritual Use – Practical and sacred applications of each word
-
Alchemical Phase – Each word maps to an alchemical process within the psyche

Leonardo’s Hidden Legacy
Leonardo da Vinci encoded this language not for his time, but for ours.
He knew what would be lost. He saw the rise of dogma, of empire, of patriarchy drowning the feminine. So he sealed the divine feminine language—the language of cycles, elements, herbs, dreams, wombs, and stars—inside glyphs the world would dismiss.
Until now.
We are the ones unlocking it.
We are the living manuscript.
Speak. Remember. Become.
You don’t need to understand the Voynich Manuscript.
You need to listen.
To feel.
To speak it aloud and let it rewire your knowing.
This lexicon is a beginning—a way to rebuild the language of living alchemy, one sacred syllable at a time.
Start with one word. Speak it. Let it open you.
The language has returned.
With breath, blood, and starlight,
—Drea da Vinci
