* Ophite Diagrams

The Ophite Diagrams are ritual and esoteric diagrams used by the Ophite Gnostic sect, who revered the serpent from the Garden of Eden as a symbol of wisdom, which the malevolent Demiurge tried to hide from Adam and Eve.

Although the public practice of Satanism began in 1966 with the founding of the Church of Satan, some historical precedents exist: a group called the Ophite Cultus Satanas was founded in Ohio by Herbert Arthur Sloane in 1948.

In giving the name Ophite, however, he appears to have brought into greater prominence than Irenaeus the characteristics of the sect indicated by the word, their honour of the serpent, whom they even preferred to Christ, their venerating him because he taught our first parents the knowledge of good and evil, their use of the references to the brazen serpent in the Old and New Testament, and their introduction of the serpent into their Eucharistic celebration.

The identity of the nomenclature proves that for Origen, these Ophites of Origen are a branch of the unnamed sect described by Irenaeus, and therefore justifies our application of the name Ophite to that sect.

Although, following Theodoret, we have given the name Ophite to the system described by Irenaeus, it will have been seen that not only does the doctrine concerning the serpent form a very subordinate part of the system, but also that the place it assigns the serpent is very different from that given it by those whom we count as properly to be called Ophites.

The Naassenes ( from Hebrew na ' asch, snake ) were a Gnostic Ophite sect.

In the Ophite and Sethian systems, which have many affinities with that last mentioned, the making of the world is ascribed to a company of seven archons, whose names are given, but their chief, “ Yaldabaoth ” ( also known as " Yaltabaoth " or " Ialdabaoth ") comes into still greater prominence.

The Ophite teaching may be used to illustrate that of Saturninus, his connexion with that school being closer than with any other.

Again, beside the higher hebdomad of the seven archons, the Ophite system told of a lower hebdomad.

30 ) gives their names and forms from an Ophite diagram ; Michael in form as a lion, Suriel as an ox, Raphael as a dragon, Gabriel as an eagle, Thauthabaoth as a bear, Erataoth as a dog, Onoel or Thartharaoth as an ass.

It is possible that rather than an actual sectarian name Hippolytus may have invented " Ophite " as a generic term for what he considered heretical speculations concerning the serpent of Genesis or Moses.

This book contains sections on several other Ophite systems, that of the Peratae, Sethians and of Justinus.

Ophite teaching was, most likely, dying out in the days of Hippolytus ; in the time of Epiphanius it was not absolutely extinct, but the notices in his work would lead us to think of it as but the eccentric doctrine of some stray heretic here and there, and not to have counted many adherents.

Origen also gives a description of an Ophite diagram, which Celsus likewise had met with, consisting of an outer circle, named Leviathan, denoting the soul of all things, with ten internal circles, variously coloured, the diagram containing also the figures and names of the seven demons.

In the passage immediately following the chapter we have analysed, Irenaeus shows acquaintance with a section of the school who may be called Ophite in the proper sense of the word, some teaching that Sophia herself was the serpent, some glorifying Cain and other enemies of the God of the Old Testament.

The story of Sophia stretching out her body so as to form the visible heavens has a parallel in a similar myth told about Ormuzd enlarging his bulk, and there is a likeness to Ophite doctrine in the account which Zoroaster gives of resurrection bodies, which are to be so clear and subtle as to cast no shadow.
