To give you a feel for the kind of entries we are dealing with, the following is the first entry I deciphered. The substitution key for this one substituted A for C and then followed in alphabetical order from then on - a very simple cipher. Well, here goes:

vxvx
And I saw it light up and the men that stood before it stepped back to view the broader scene which glowed in a fire that no world had viewed. The signs called out in the name that all had known but none had spoken and the sky grew bright with the word. Then the star brightened and it was as if the one name that had been spoken named all. A single voice sounded and the trees, shaking softly in the wind, grew close. A steady stream of flowing, endless shapes moved ever forward, never backwards. He spoke and when he did the stars remembered. And the mountain reached up towards the skies never ceasing in its reach or grasp, unthinking, though the thoughts that came were much later, in deep time, signifying and understanding that could only come after aeons. No approval came, only the cost was marked. The coins stood in piles yet the twisted shapes never moved appearing to be waiting for a great hand to move them from their fixed point. Clouds raced across the sky. Days passed slowly as if mired in time. And the light which first illuminated the words slowly dimmed.

So there you have it. You'll notice it starts with the letters "vxvx", which is the same for all the passages I've deciphered so far. This could be some indication of the author's identity, although, let's face it, it could be anything. It's also exactly two hundred words, including the header. But, most importantly, it doesn't seem to make any sense at all. And this is just the first. Any ideas gratefully received. I'll post them up as I decipher them, but there are already appearing certain themes which may get us somewhere.
