CIPHER MANUSCRIPT [aka VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT] by Roger Bacon[?] (Central Europe, c.1401-1599) 18th -19th century binding.

‘Scientific or magical text in an unidentified language, in cipher, apparently based on Roman minuscule characters; the text is believed by some scholars to be the work of Roger Bacon since the themes as the illustrations seem to represent topics know to have interested Bacon…. A history of the numerous attempts to decipher the manuscript can be found in a volume edited by R.S Brumbaugh THE MOST MYSTERIOUS MANUSCRIPT: The Voynich “Roger Bacon” Cipher Manuscript (Carbondale, IL, 1978). Although several scholars have claimed decipherments of the manuscript, for the most part the text remains an unsolved puzzle.’ — from an abstract by the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale

When I was little I came up with my own code. a couple of years ago I found the encodings and drew this. It's funny that at the moment I don't even remember what is written here. Also, the sketchbook with the code got lost somewhere. I think I’ll never know what’s written here🥲 the basic concept in squares and triangles and the connections between them. each connection and dot on a certain side means a different letter. with all this, there are 36 variations of the original arrangement of letters. and the image in the middle I don’t even know what it means

is there any eldritch knowledge that you would like to share?

Ciphertext is so cool... I don't know that many but so far I've figured out caesar cipher, and I'm working on rail fence rn!! I'm mainly confused with rail fence when the plain text has spaces in it, but I also still need to try with 4 or more rails.

I'm trying to figure out how to calculate how many rails there are when you don't know, although, if you do know the amount of rails and need to figure out the spacing between each letter on the top line, you can do 2x-3, the x representing the amount of rails! I've tested that with up to 6 rails, but I haven't tried with anything further than that yet. When there's 3 rails, half of the total amount of letters will be in the center line, and the top and bottom rows are each a quarter of the total amount of letters.

After I figure out rail fence with up to 10 rails (I don't know if that many will even be useful but it'll be nice to know) I'm gonna try to decode monoalphabetic ciphertext!

(also if anyone knows any other ciphers PLEASEE reply or reblog w/ them because I need to try to figure out some others as well)

Submissions for the Carnival Creativity Contest prompt: An Airy New Friend

To be a Worldhopper is to be often subjected to rather… unusual situations. Anything ranging from getting pulled into petty rivalries, to being attacked by pirates, to getting stuck in sprawling enchanted labyrinths. Not to mention enough encounters with literal deities that would make even the least devout person second guess themself. As for what Nyklo was currently witnessing? It may not have been the most fantastical thing she’d seen; but, it was certainly among the stranger ones. It had begun with stumbling into that colorful, buzzing tent housed within the cacophony of the Carnival (Which was another odd experience in itself) and being swindled into the most bizarre game of cards that she’d ever heard of in her life. Accolades– as the points were called– given and taken without rhyme nor reason. By the end of that first round, Nyklo was convinced that the jester running it was making up whatever numbers would allow him to make away with her potato ante. A second round did not occur. At least, not for her. Before Nyklo could mumble out an excuse to leave, the Worldhopper was bodily shoved aside from her seat at the low table. Her… companion... of a Peryton ruffling their wings before dropping onto the cushion she once occupied. And while picking herself off the floor, Nyklo watched as the Peryton dropped another bundle of potatoes before the jester. ”I’ll play.” … So began the routine for each following day of the Carnival: begin by meandering through a shifting maze, followed by nursing a cup of tea (Or two) while watching a wheel slowly tick its way around, and ending with a visit to the card game tent for a few rounds. There, Nyklo would sit back and bear witness to the fastest plays that she could never imagine. Pitre dropping down a card and rattling off its tribulations just as quickly as Caesari would chirp back a number (The Accolades..?-- “Hey, I thought we started with zero!”) or the answer to some arcane riddle (”Eleven?! That doesn’t even make any sense!”). Nevertheless, Caesari managed to win the grand prize at least a few times. So clearly the beast had managed to decipher something from the game that she wouldn’t have even begun to dream of. However… Sometime within those lightning rounds Pitre expressed an interest in the Peryton (Nyklo couldn’t fault him. Caesari was certainly an… eclectic creature to behold. Nevermind the ability to play– and win– his game. … Speaking without needing to move their mouth… Seeming to know much more than they let on… Delighting in being a general nuisance… ) and contemplated a companion of his own. When the jester stood up from the table and disappeared somewhere deeper into the tent, Nyklo figured he’d gone to fetch something for her to animate for him. It wouldn’t have been the first time it had been asked of her. But, alas, things can never be quite so simple for the Worldhopper. Pitre, in all his jester wisdom, has deemed balloons to be the supreme medium to construct a pet and Caesari, in turn, expressed an interest in wanting to see the results. So after a presumably proper amount of time for the development and creation of a befitting balloon beast, Worldhopper and companion were recalled through one of those bellspeakers. Thus leading up to now… … In the moment it took for Nyklo to drop herself in the entrance of an otherwise empty tent, the jester appeared. Baffled, she gazed up as Pitre– stood in the middle of a slow-laden lane of the Carnival– held aloft a… balloon pony? Yes, indeed; a pony fashioned of pastel-colored balloons and even decorated with a flourish of paint. He brandished the figure at Caesari. The Peryton in turn holding a balloon self-miniature in their maw and looking awfully amused. Where’d that come from? “A most fitting pet for a jester, yes? I see you’ve had one made for yourself.” Caesari’s ears flicked forward, eyes squinting in mirth. ”No.” “No?” Pitre frowned. “It couldn’t have been yourself. You have no hands.” The jester peered at Nyklo. The Worldhopper shrugged back; “No idea.” “Simple, really,” the Peryton continued on, grinning around the balloon-from-thin-air. ”Not real.” Caesari tightened their maw around the balloon animal, making it burst with a loud pop and startling a gaggle of passing by carnivalgoers. And just as the beast has said, not a trace of the balloon was left. Somehow, it never existed in the first place. "Unfortunate. Perhaps you would enjoy one more permanent?" A strange Carnival with strange inhabitants. Strange games with strange rules. But those, at least, were temporary. But strange companions? Much more permanent. Such is the life of a Worldhopper.

From Aivas

This month: Bigram Cipher

This month's cypher is one that hails back to some very fun old cryptography manuals. A bigram cipher relies on dividing your ciphertext up into two-letter segments, and replacing those with a single character. That means that you have a lot of combinations, and in turn, must have a large table of options to encipher from. On the other hand, it means that the ciphertext could be halved in length compared to the original plaintext. It's a bit time-consuming to encrypt and decrypt, and it's no more secure than any other cypher whose key can be stolen. All the same, this one is really fun. Because you need a large table, you can make it a long series of fun things. Little doodles? A series of fractal iterations? Other letters and computer characters? The sky's the limit. Today, we'll make use of a ciphering table from De furtivis Literarum Notis (1563), by Giambattista della Porta. It doesn't use every letter in the English alphabet, so our plaintext will have to be edited to suit that.

bill i decoded one of them..

They want me to slow down?

Okay, Billy..do you remember when I spit in your eye and you just licked it up? ..mm

THAT WAS A DELETED SCENE

also that alarm i sent was the 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴 alarm going off on YOU

I'M GONNA FUCKING JUMP OFF THE THERAPRISM 😂😂😂😂

MORE CIPHERS! The one called Crescerys was made u/TokiwaKurumi on Reddit. The rest were made by @thealchemybook on TikTok. Check ‘em both out they look really cool.

[ciphermitarai]

I get waves of anxiety any time I post my art so I haven’t been doin that much lately so thanks for like. Being cool about it im gonna go nap now

[disappointingcabbage]

What if I started posting stuff written in cipher to see if anyone can decode it? Like no amount of googling would help you I made the ciphers up and have the only (handwritten) copy of the key. Would anyone like that? Is it a good idea?
