Ophite Diagram
The Ophite cosmic system as described by Origen of Alexandra in Contra Celsum: the serpent both in the center and as the all-encompassing limit, described as Anima Mundi. The circle is divided by a black line which is the Tartarus, and the central column of ascent may have corresponded to an initiation rite or the after-death journey that the initiate was meant to undergo. Gnosis consisted in the concrete knowledge of the names and the keys to these circles, namely, those of the seven Archons, followed by the seven gates, and in the Ogdoad, the three metaphysical spheres.
