What do you know about the Voynich Manuscript?
Is it decipherable or just a hoax?
Does it contain secret alchemical knowledge?

Alchemical knowledge is not secret and can be easily accessed over the internet or in a wide selection of books.

it's just some guy writing about shit he made up in a conlang

Well, it's not a hoax, because it has a provenance that's fairly old, 16th century, and the parchment and ink is renaissance era.

If it encodes a language, it will be difficult to decipher without a key.

Probably not, and if it does, it probably isn't that important, since it's like 600 years old.

My pet theory is that it was made to satisfy the Renaissance lust for exotic curios.

Some words have been decoded, it's in some arabo shit language.
