I may be looking at this too much, but what's up with the 'd' in 'waited'? It looks mirrored with a dash through the stem.
Also regarding "WHATSTHEmAGICWORDS", the 'm' looks purposefully lower-case while the rest are capitalized. There also looks like a small space before 'words'. I tried some websites/wordpress because of the way it's mostly run together. I'm mentioning this because I can't think of anything useful regarding Woolf.

Is it possible that you need to add the "2" in "2 many hours" to the number, ie... 207 285- 6302. Also, wouldn't the Ace of Swords be considered a 1, and not a 6, making it 207-285-1302. Btw, 207 is the area code for Maine.

"207-285-1302" is a perpetually busy signal, at least when calling from here.

So do you think Virginia Wolfe is the magic words or something connected to her?

Certainly possible.

Earlier when i was looking through some of Virginia's works i found she mentioned "Rabbits" as a magic word in "Lappin and Lapinova". Thought it was a coincidence as "words" implies more than one word.
I don't know if the tarot card numbers are coordinates because of the spacing of the blank images. It looks like _0__7_28 (next line) 51_30_2

I'm curious if the type of tarot cards she's using is actually significant, or if she's just using them for the numerical values.

I checked to see if the tarot cards intertwined to make some sort of cipher, but there are too many cards and not enough blanks.

edit: LOL
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'm blind and didn't notice that the twitter pic and the wiki have the same cards. Is there any significance to that? They're the same cards, but in a different order.

I don't think they are in a different order (are they?), but they are spaced differently. Notably, on the picture she found in the locker the top and bottom two are all overlapping each other. But i don't know if that means anything, and I'm confused about the two blanks in a row on the wiki page as well.

Thought I'd dip my toe into this...

So the '5' card is called "middle-aged" rather than something more numeric as the other ones are, and the last 10 card is called "10 again 3 x 10", which could just be emphasizing the 30 based on the three cards, or making itself a 30 on its own... not sure what to take out of these file names. Didn't see the last configuration of cards; are the names likely just reminders to the PM of what the picture is, or possible messages to us?

And do I have it right that these tarot messages are from the main character's parents to her?

No, you're right. It's the spacing and the different decks that were throwing me off.

Hey, the wikispaces changed! Some of the blanks were substituted in with zeros. It leaves us with something like
