If there is a single key to understanding the Voynich manuscript it is the natural phenomenon known as the "alpenglow". By this key we can situate the manuscript in a particular landscape and understand its iconography. It is especially the key to the correct understanding of the Voynich map (Rosette folio). It is the central symbolism of the work, without which it cannot be understood.
It is also the main conceptual problem that has prevented modern readers, scholars and laymen, from entering into the world of the manuscript. If you don't appreciate the importance of the alpenglow to the symbolism of the Voynich ms. then you will not understand a core feature of the work.
It is basic, simple, Christian religious symbolism but to my knowledge no commentators on or students of the Voynich ms. have grasped it and understood its importance and its relevance.
My reading of the manuscript rests upon this: the symbolism of the alpenglow and its place in the cosmology of the Ladin people of the Dolomites in alpine northern Italy. There is, in fact, what I would describe as a mythologem underpinning the manuscript, which is essentially a Christian symbolism of light.
Several months ago I prepared a video on the subject which provides the best explanation. I believe that this is the key that unlocks the work. Please see the link below:
