how I solved it. It was really simple. Here's the original puzzle:
To solve, all I did was rotate the whole thing 90 degrees counter-clockwise, then start applying unique alphabetic letters. So I ended up with:
Now the words certainly weren't that long, so I reasoned that one of the glyphs must be a spacer. I took a huge guess on the 'I' glyph and here's

ABCDEFECGGH JKEJLHHGJMKLH GLHNKCGOGC KAPLOMEHM OGQEOCKHQ OGER HKHGGRGSGH JLHNPKOEJT MFGLOKGN
Plugging this into Decrypto produced the following:
