EXILED: Crooked Rose Woods

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2024 2:28 pm**

SIMILARITIES
At least one participant each iteration getting grabbed
Photos were taken
Writing something on a piece of paper
Dropping it in the bucket we deemed appropriate
The pentagram
The tree lady
Dan driving us back and forth
Bags over the head
Turning off and giving up our phones
Every time the “friend” bucket was chosen, tree lady freaked out
Mentions of the air and our essence
Speaking with opulens
Putting forehead against the wall

DIFFERENCES
The subject matter that opulens chose to speak about each participant with
Different participants chose different buckets to put their cards in
Different things we all chose to write down on the papers

WHAT DO WE THINK?
This is purely my speculation. (Campbell). Do not take this as fact.
Richard brought up rosicrucianism. I don’t really dive deep into stuff like this but I think that that theory is important to bring up and address that these people might be involved in a similar system
There are a lot of different moving pieces and moving people here. For example
Dan
Opulens
Darren
Milkman
Dymuntz
Lamia
Tree lady
Assorted crew members
Assorted cameramen/women
There are people that we thought were all powerful and now are finding out the echelon just keeps getting higher.
I have a theory that they all subscribe to a higher power, or at least a higher being. Remember how we all thought that the woman in black was the shot caller? Can you see how that theory has slowly started to change over time?
Rosicrucianism talks about how everything happens for a reason and through knowledge and a process of rebirth/initiation, regular human beings like us can have god-like powers.
Maybe as we continue going through this process of initiation there might be a way that we all can be afforded the same luxury.
Maybe that is exactly what is happening to dan. In the pursuit of knowledge he is becoming initiated.
Do you guys remember my dialogue when I was initially exiled?
“I do this willingly in the pursuit of knowledge and information. I am ready to be exiled.”
What if that is exactly what is happening to dan and then happening to us?
What if dan is also about to come out of being exiled and he just can’t talk to us for a certain period of time, unless he has been fully exiled for the foreseeable future?
What terms did he agree to?
Anyways, back to rosicrucianism.
What kind of questions would you ask if you knew you could achieve such powers?
What kind of questions would you ask if you knew that you were entering something that was a lot bigger than you?
Who would you report to?
What would your role be?
Who are your confidants?
Who do you like? Who do you dislike?
How often should I report to ___?
These are just some ideas.
ASK QUESTIONS. ASK THE QUESTIONS YOU SHOULDN’T BE ASKING.

Here is a google doc that summarizes everybody's experience from july 28th so that you have them all in one place. These are all objective facts with little to no subjective to keep things going smoothly.

Thank you for doing this. You are appreciated.

Nice, it's good to have a lot of this in one place, if anyone can somehow remember, I'm now interested what was on the middle piece of paper on the table. From Matt it may have said “Think about why you’re here." and had 3 other statements that were things to think about

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2024 3:09 pm**

Aw where did my reply go on this? Let me try and remember it.

First of all, this is incredible.

With that out of the way - it can be so hard to remember details during one of these encounters (why it’s great multiple people attended) let alone say the exact thing you wanted to when pressured in the moment. Lord knows the stupid shit that’s come out of my mouth whenever someone’s asked me why I think I’m there.

That said, and with some time now to consider without the tension - what else would you have asked Op, or our Hecate-esque woods witch?

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2024 3:13 pm**

I appreciate you and the time and effort it took to create a summary of July 28th.
I was there as well. However, I was unable to post my experience, due to my work schedule.
I have a question for the group and would be appreciative of an answer - for I seek the TRUTH.

I find myself continually replaying in my mind, what Opulens said to me, as I got out of the car at the end of the event.
"You should have listened."
WAIT - WHAT?
[It was at this moment that the "LED" turned on in my brain.]
I remember him saying in the beginning to "Do exactly what I tell you to do."
Was it because I took my seatbelt off without out being told to??
I didn't look back and it felt as if Opulens was walking right behind me.
He most-likely heard me whimpering to my car. An uneasy feeling ALL the way home.
Did this happen to anyone else?
*I read that some groups were told "That's the end."*

Wait.

Opulens drove you back? Or Dan drove you back?

Need more info

Ooh I think we’ve been looking for you, mystery participant! Welcome and thank you for recapping!

I wonder what he thought you missed…but if it’s any comfort I think he thinks we miss everything.

Hello and who might you be? What time slot were you? Welcome and thank you for joining the fourm :)

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2024 3:46 pm**

Hello all!
My name is Karen. But I'm cool with Kare!

(killin' the stereotype!!)

10:45pm was my time slot. I was solo, but came prepared. I cleansed with sage prior to
the event AND when I returned home.
I haven't had my "black" sleep in a while...and I did that next morning. [Took a while to settle]

I didn't dream. I closed my eyes-pitch black-then awake 6 hours later. Interesting. I felt no negativity, so a win-win!

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2024 3:48 pm**

Nice to meet you!!

If you could, please put relevant details of your experience here. As much info as you can helps.

You can also put it in a comment here for easier access for everyone else so that it is all in the same place if you want!

I most certainly will add to the google doc. I should have complete by tomorrow.

Glad you didn't have any negativity. So reading up and I know there is a lot but was your interaction about the same as everyone else? From the sound of it sounded a lot shorter? Did you reach out on instagram? or how did you get involved?

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2024 4:31 pm**

Reading through the summations, very similar.
Opulens told me to do exactly as I was told and "You don't know what you're getting into."
Upon entry and hood off, I turned and looked at the table. I walked towards the stairs, then saw a shadow in the corner..about face to table and sign and write "family."
I walked towards the stairs, and was met with a polaroid in my face for a photo.
Once on the stairs, I decided I wanted to see the roof, but was pulled back to the first set of stairs and up to the what looked like a ritual room? I immediately noticed several people in black standing there. I was being led forcibly (I was hesitant to approach the pentogram) and placed in the middle. There I saw the witch and she asked the same questions. I read aloud "Family!" and chose universe and her response was the same as everyone elses who said "universe."
I couldn't get over her face. That one eye piercing through you. I started feeling uneasy then too. She pulled my hair as well, then down to exit.
Of course, there's the final statement of the evening by Opulens that made me question myself. Or did he want me to feel that way?

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2024 5:15 pm**

Ok..I just missed a phone call from a private number.
A voicemail revealed a sinister laugh.
I work nights and was almost asleep.
..almost..

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2024 5:36 pm**

I almost forgot to mention: Exiled/Opulens contacted me through PM on IG. the day prior to the event.

Did you call the number from the reel that they had posted or was this contact unrelated to that? How did they figure that you were interested in learning more?

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2024 5:49 pm**

I follow Exiled and have been following the stories of others.
I didn't call any number.
I had no contact until Saturday, 12:48pm. That is when I recd my first message from Opulens, introducing himself.

Lower-case o, for opulens. ;)

Sounds like much of your experience mirrored mine.

That said, and with some time now to consider without the tension - what else would you have asked Op, or our Hecate-esque woods witch?

A few questions I would've asked:
- why can't I see your face?
- what is milkman's name? are you friends/enemies with him?
- who are the redcurves?
- is this building your headquarters, or just one you picked for tonight? (meaning July 28th)
- how can I serve you?
- are you scared of tree lady? do you like tree lady? how are you two related?
- you want attention in Kansas City. you want attention from something or someone. what will you do with that attention once you have it?
- have we gotten the right people's attention yet?
- how many more people do we need to recruit? how many more people do you want?
- WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BAREFOOT DUDE FROM THE FIRST EXPERIENCE?
- WHY WAS HE BAREFOOT?
- WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR CAMERAMAN FROM ME AND MATT'S FIRST EXPERIENCE?
- WHERE DID HE GO? ^^^

this is something that I feel like, if allowed, would be pretty cool. I feel like there are some obvious rules regarding things we can do but I don't think anyone has asked if they can keep stuff from the locations.

- can I have some of those sticks? or anything on the table? (lol).
