Peculiarities
The main elements of Orphism differed from popular ancient Greek religion in the following ways:
* by characterizing human souls as divine and immortal but doomed to live (for a period) in a "grievous circle" of successive bodily lives
through metempsychosis or the transmigration of souls.
* by prescribing an ascetic way of life which, together with secret initiation rites, was supposed
to guarantee not only eventual release from the "grievous circle" but
also communion with god(s).
* by warning of postmortem punishment for certain transgressions committed during life.
* by being founded upon sacred writings about the origin of gods and human beings.
Compare with Hinduism, Buddhism and Gnosticism.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophites
The Ophites (also called Ophians or Serpentinians) (from Greek ὄφιανοι > ὄφις = snake) were members of numerous Gnostic sects in Syria and Egypt about 100 AD. The Ophite sects revered the serpent of Genesis as a symbol of gnosis, which the tyrant Yaldabaoth tried to hide from Adam and Eve. As John 3:14 tells that "as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up," the Ophites felt perfectly justified in their position,
and Christian heresiologists took particular offense at turning their
view of the serpent on its head.
Irenaeus wrote a history of heresy toward the end of the second century from which our principal mythos is derived; Clement of Alexandria (Stromata, vii. 17, § 108) mentions beside the "Cainists" the "Ophians" (Οφιανοί),
saying that their name is derived from the object of their worship. Philaster, an author of the fourth century, places the Ophites, the Cainites, and the Sethians at the head of all heresies (ch. 1-3), because he holds that they owed their origin to the serpent (the Devil).
In Clement and Origen
Clement of Alexandria incidentally mentions Cainites and Ophites (Strom. vii. 17, p. 900), but gives no explanation of their tenets. Nor do we
suppose that there is any reason to connect with this sect his
reprobation of the use of serpent ornaments by women (Paed. ii. 13, p. 245).

NOTICE THESE ARE THE CHAKRAS????
Reconstruction from Histoire critique du Gnosticisme; Jacques Matter, 1826, Vol. III, Plate I, D.
Origen is led to speak of the Ophites (Contra Celsum. vi. 28 sqq.) by an accusation of Celsus that the Christians counted seven heavens, and spoke of the Creator as
an accursed divinity, inasmuch as he was worthy of execration for
cursing the serpent who introduced the first human beings to the
knowledge of good and evil.
Origen replies that Celsus had mixed up
matters, and had confounded with the Christians the Ophites, who so far
from being Christians would not hear the name of Jesus, nor own him to
have been so much as a wise and virtuous man, nor would admit anyone
into their assembly until he had cursed Jesus.
It may be doubted whether Origen has not here been misinformed about a sect of which he
intimates that he knows but little. According to all other authorities
the Ophites claimed to be Christians. Elsewhere (Comm. in St. Matt. iii. 852) Origen classes the Ophites as heretics of the graver sort with the followers of Marcion, Valentinus, Basilides, and Apelles.
The identity of the nomenclature proves that these Ophites of Origen
are a branch of the sect described by Irenaeus, and therefore justifies
our application of the name Ophite to that sect.
[edit] Hebdomad
The names of the seven princes of the Hebdomad, as given by Origen, agree completely with the list of Irenaeus. Origen also gives the names
of the seven demons. Irenaeus only gives the name of their chief, but
that one is enough to establish a more than accidental coincidence,
since it is a name we should not have expected to find as the name of a
demon, namely, Michael.
The name Prunikos is also found in the report of Origen.
Origen gives what must have been one of the valuable secrets of this sect, viz. the
formula to be addressed by an ascending soul to each of the princes of
the hebdomad in order to propitiate him to grant a passage through his dominions.
Perhaps the secret would have been more jealously guarded if it were not that in addition to the use of the formula, it seems to
hare been necessary to produce at each gate a certain symbol. These
would only be in the possession of the initiated, and we may imagine
that they were buried with them. He gives the formulae in the inverse
order; i.e. first the formula to be used by a soul which has passed
through the highest heaven and desires to enter the Ogdoad; next the
formula to be used in order to gain admission to the highest heaven,
and so on.
[edit] Diagrams
Main article: Ophite Diagrams
SEE BELOW
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.
Many have attempted to reproduce the figure from Origen's
description, but in truth Origen has not given us particulars enough to
enable us to make a restoration with confidence, or even to enable us
to understand what was intended to be represented. Origen names
Euphrates as the introducer of the doctrine of the sect which he
describes, and the sect may have been that branch of the Ophites who
are called Peratae.

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.
Celsus and his opponent Origen (Contra Celsum, vi. §§ 24-38) both describe the diagrams, though not in the same way.
Celsus describes them as ten separate circles, circumscribed by one
circle, the world-soul, Leviathan, divided by a thick black line, Tartarus, together with a square, with words said at the gates of Paradise. Further to this, the Ophites are said by Celsus to add the sayings of prophets,
and circles upon circles, with some things written within the two great
cosmological circles representing God the Father, and God the Son.
Origen maintains that there were two concentric circles, across the diameter of which were inscribed the words ΠΑΤΗΡ ("father") and ΥΙΟC
("son"); a smaller circle hung from the larger one, with the words
ΑΓΑΠΗ ("love"). A wall divides the realm of light from the middle
realm. Two other concentric circles, one light and one dark, represent
light and shadow.
Hanging from this double circle was a circle with the inscription ΖΩΗ ("life"), and this enclosed two other circles which
intersected each other and formed a rhomboid. In the common field were
the words ΣΟΦΙΑC ΦΥCΙC ("the nature of wisdom"), above ΓΝΩCΙC
("knowledge"), and below ΣΟΦΙΑ ("wisdom"); in the rhomboid was ΣΟΦΙΑC
ΠΡΟΝΟΙΑ ("the providence of wisdom"). There were altogether seven
circles, with the names of seven archons:
* Michael, in the form of a lion
* Suriel, of a bull
* Raphael, of a dragon
* Gabriel, of an eagle
* Thauthabaoth ("Tohu wa-Bohu"), of a bear's head
* Erataoth, of a dog's head
* Onoel or Thartharaoth, of an ass's head
The archons are perhaps identical with the seven generations of Yaldabaoth. They signify the corporeal world, which follows the middle realm, and with which the dominion of Sophia ends. The Sephirot of the Jewish Kabbalah may be in some way connected with this diagram. But the serpent as
symbol is found likewise in connection with the mysteries of Egypt, Greece, Phoenicia, Syria, and even Babylonia and India

DID YOU THINK THIS WAS ALL A COINCIDENCE NO IT IS NOT.
Ophiuchus is a large constellation located around the celestial equator. Its name is Greek (Ὀφιοῦχος) for 'snake-holder', and it is commonly represented as a man grasping the snake that is represented by the constellation Serpens.
Ophiuchus was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. It was formerly referred to as Serpentarius (/ˌsɜrpənˈtɛəriəs/), a Latin word meaning the same as its current name.
THIS IS KIND OF STRANGE IS IT NOT???
A 1992 survey of American health organizations found that 62% of professional associations used the rod of Asclepius, whereas in commercial organizations, 76% used the caduceus.[21]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_of_Asclepius
The rod of Asclepius (⚕; sometimes also spelled Asklepios or Aesculapius), also known as the asklepian,[1] is an ancient symbol associated with astrology, the Greek god Asclepius and with medicine and healing. It consists of a serpent entwined around a staff. The name of the symbol derives from its early and widespread association with Asclepius, the son of Apollo, who was a practitioner of medicine in ancient Greek mythology.
His attributes, the snake and the staff, sometimes depicted separately in antiquity, are combined in this symbol.[2] The Rod of Asclepius also represents the constellation Ophiuchus (or Ophiuchus Serpentarius), considered by some to be the thirteenth sign of the sidereal zodiac. Hippocrates himself was a worshipper of Asclepius.[3]

Biblical
A similar symbol, Nehushtan, is mentioned in the Bible in the Book of Numbers (Numbers 21:6).Then the LORD sent poisonous serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many Israelites died. The people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you; pray to the LORD to take away the serpents from us." So Moses prayed for the people. And the LORD

said to Moses, "Make a poisonous serpent, and set it on a pole; and
everyone who is bitten shall look at it and live." So Moses made a
serpent of bronze, and put it upon a pole; and whenever a serpent bit
someone, that person would look at the serpent of bronze and live.[13]
