THE OPHIDIAN SYNODUS
A contemporary religious confession devoted to the Serpent
The Synodus preserves and transmits the Ophidian doctrine: a theology in which the Divine reveals Itself through metamorphosis, tension, and renewal.
The Ophidian Synodus is the central body of a modern religious tradition that understands the Serpent as the symbolic form chosen by the Divine to manifest Its nature.
It is a contemplative confession—not proselitic—devoted to the study of metamorphosis, theophany, and the dynamic unity of the sacred.
Our task is to safeguard the doctrine, liturgy, and spiritual life of Ophidism, offering a space where the faithful may encounter the Divine through transformation.
The path
Ophidian doctrine unfolds through a theological system that interprets the Serpent not as a deity, but as the semeîon—the sign through which God discloses Its presence.
Its core disciplines explore the Divine as a living reality expressed through metamorphosis, contradiction, and renewal.
To enter the Ophidian path is to learn the logic of the Serpent: shedding what has hardened, descending into stillness, and rising transformed.
Liturgy
The liturgical life of the Synodus is centered on the Ierá, a rite that mirrors the rhythm of the Divine: silence, manifestation, rupture, and return.
The faithful are invited to join the public celebrations, which follow the spiral movement of the Ophidian year and reveal the metamorphic presence of God.
Our liturgical calendar includes major festivals as well as monthly celebrations open to visitors.
