It’s in the Cards, Or is it?

Am I crazy to be wigged out by this, or does this kind of bizarro stuff actually happen?

   OMG - you have got to chill. Haven’t you ever heard of a little thing the free world likes to call coincidence? I’m all for this website and helping find Amanda, but not if every iota becomes a conspiracy.

2. Liza 03.23.2009

   SuperChk, you’re kidding, right? Because there’s no way you can think that everything going on in Orion has been a coincidence. Or maybe you do. And maybe your mom dropped you on your head as a baby.

   Hey - no need for the harshness. I totes buy into these oracle cards being the real deal, especially if they were Amanda’s.

   I def believe in fate and a big cosmic plan. There’s just too much strange stuff that weirds me out for there not to be an explanation. Take, for instance, last month when I was on vacation with my family in Panama City, FL. I was in the mall – some random mall, not super famous like Mall of America or anything – and I hear my name being called. HUH? It turned out that one of my friends from first grade was there with her softball team. She moved when we were 8 so I haven’t seen or talked to her in 5 years and we both end up in the same mall in FLA on the same day at the same time? And the most freaky thing is that I had just had a dream about her, tripping and falling into my castle cake at my 6th party. Which absolutely happened. Too weird for there not to be an explanation. At least I think so.

   This is Amanda, alright - exactly the kind of voodoo stuff she’d come up with and then weird the rest of us out. what a freak.

   p.s. I wonder if her trusty cards predicted she’d disappear. LOL!

5. theresaax2 03.31.2009

   Amanda is a strange one-who knows, she may have supernatural powers. Of course, the card said your time is up-not your dad’s. So maybe a coincidence? Unless it’s your time with your dad is up…

6. peanut_butter 03.31.2009

   I don’t think the cards CAUSED Casey’s dad to die.  Cards don’t have the ability to make things happen.  I think that tarot cards (even though I don’t take them seriously) might be able to predict things that already are, but don’t actually cause things to happen.  Either way, though, I think that such coincidences can happen.

7. Odd 03.31.2009

   There’s a definite crossroad here for me. Part of me wants to think it’s a total coincidnce, that the card had nothing to do with anything. But the supernatural is out there…I don’t know. Like Peanut said, I don’t think the card caused the death, but I think that fate mixed with Casey’s choice of card. It sounds stupid, I know, but there are forces out there…Maybe Casey needed that time to think about death and what it would mean..I’m not saying her dad had to die to put it in perspective, no one needs that, But um…

   I don’t know. I’d be freaked out too.

8. babystarlit 03.31.2009

   who knows amanda was always kinda strange .. and even though i dont believe in the kind of stuff with amanda anything is possible!

9. Sabrina 03.31.2009

   It’s true, I am sure it is.  Maybe you might not be able to tell by looking at me, little miss pink and perfect, but I am actually very religious.  Christian Wiccan.  Don’t you dare say it doesn’t exist or I will hurt you, well not me, Charles will hurt you.  That means that I am like really into the whole spiritual stuff so yah, I totally believe this.

10. kayleigh 03.31.2009

    that is so not a coincidence. I dont really believe in that type of stuff but it had to be a sign from some where.

11. dem_94 03.31.2009

    I agree with p_b and odd. I don’t think the cards caused Casey’s dad’s death, I think they predicted it. I don’t really believe in fortune telling, but I do believe there is a supernatural force out there.

    The broken cuckoo clock meant your time was up, not your father’s time is up so maybe this was just a coincidence? I don’t know….

12. urban_hippie 03.31.2009

    Ok, I’m pretty sure that this all just coincidence. We need to calm down. It’s just coincidence! Seriously! What are the odds anyway? Like, a million to one maybe?

13. themidnighter 04.01.2009

    Maybe Casey’s father’s time is over in the real word.You know what they say when it’s your time it’s your time. That has nothing to do with the cards.

14. aGirlLikeMe 04.01.2009

    I think that is a little weird. I’m sorry that Casey’s father died but I don’t believe it had anything to do with the cards and Amanda.

15. Kirihara 04.01.2009

    How well did Amanda know Casey? Is it possible that she knew Casey’s father was going to die?

    Because if she did…the card game was a pretty nasty trick to play.

16. moonprincess 04.01.2009

    I don’t think there’s such a thing as coincidence. The cards could be considered a warning, to be careful in the upcoming future. I wonder how Casey’s father died, maybe it could’ve been prevented? I feel bad about the cards, though, it wasn’t Amanda’s fault…

17. Kewpie83 04.03.2009

    I know some pretty good Tarot card readers and, while the cards are pretty good about knowing what might happen, they don’t cause it to happen.  If she pulled the cards, it was a warning about what might happen.  Amanda had nothing to do with what happened.  The cards told her something might.

18. elc2010 04.03.2009

    Those cards are scary business. She asked me once if I wanted to try it. I turned her down.
    but the fact that something like that happened to Casey just makes me think that something is wrong

19. Kewpie83 04.05.2009

    I just remembered something—wasn’t she reading her cards at one of those fair’s downtown?  My friend Margo got a reading from her.  Amanda told her she’d gain something, then lose something.  Well, she gained a 10 dollar bill she found that night, and then sprained her ankle walking home right before her gymnastics competition.  Could have won some medals, if she hadn’t hurt herself… 

    I didn’t put two and two together until today.  That’s some pretty powerful cards she messes with!

20. Ashley 04.07.2009

    Those cards change nothing, you just know whats gonna happen. Anyone seen bedtime stories? Nothing is what you expect, I meant, we’re only human, we can’t get everything right. And the future is sorta set in stone. We don’t really know it so we can’t really change it. Like in books, the characters have no clue whatsoever as to whats gonna happen but it still happens.

21. _Bex_ 04.10.2009

    To quote the Harry Potter series, “What’s coming will come, and we’ll just have to meet it when it does.” The events of the future aren’t something we can control - everything that happens is caused by a massive chain of cause-and-effect relationships, and while changing our behaviors may change some possible future, the future depends on so many things that one person can’t guarantee a certain event happening or not happening. It’s not the events we can change, it’s our reactions that matter. And if the cards help prepare for that, then that’s great; however, the cards may be misleading…

22. noraorchid 04.13.2009

    there is no way that cards could change the future…........they might be able to predict wat will happen but they dnt make it happen these things are already set in stone…......

23. Ashley 04.15.2009

    and trying to change the future can just make it happen, no one knows what variables are involved.

24. noraorchid 04.15.2009

    true, like for example, if you think that you are sick you convince your body that you are and then get sick…....

25. FlyingAway 04.17.2009

    It also could be, in a weird way if any of you guys get this, that but trying to change or predict the future, you’ve already helped happen what would already happen.

    Like.. well, ok. There’s this book called Enchantment. In Enchantment, Ivan lives in 1999. He gets transported back to 850 AD. He know about this time, he’s studied and and everything and he keeps thinking in terms like ‘No, that hasn’t happened yet. He crosses over in 890 AD’ and things like that. He’s also wondering how what he does there would change the future. But no matter what he does, the modern world is the same. It’s saying ‘To get the modern world we know, Ivan HAD to go back in time.’

    Does anyone else get it?

26. stef_stone 04.24.2009

    I get it…I know Casey and he said it was a complete accident..so maybe Amanda’s prediction did have something to do with it.

27. DarkCharlotte 06.18.2009

    So here’s what I think about tarot cards. My friends and I like to do them all the time at slumber parties. And we realized that people can interpret cards in different ways. If you get one card, you’ll think about all the things in your life that it could be connected to. Truthfully every card that you get could probably be related to your life, that doesn’t mean it changes it. Tarot cards are fun, but shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Although I must admit that I do believe in ghosts and supernatural stuff, I think sometimes people believe what they want to beleive.

28. Natasha 08.01.2009

    *laughs* This is EXACTLY the sort of thing Amanda would say. Only she would predict something like that, and only she would have had the sight to see the unfortunate event of Casey’s father’s death. She was always the type to know more than she let on to.

29. Mexly 09.12.2009

    Oh it happens it may sound crazy but only because most don’t get things can connect in ways beyond reason. Like i predicted a thing or two about my future or others and it came true like how my friend was going to fall off a cliff (don’t worry she lived), that my two friends while i moved away would develop a more then ‘friends’ relationship (to my dispare). Anyway i’m a believer in the mystical and magic as a superstious person and i like the idea that this weird stuff happens.

    -Mexly R.

30. penny025 09.27.2009

    I’ve got to agree with Mexly on this one. I’ve made some predictions myself ( I have really strange dreams) and fortunately or unfortunately for me: they’ve come true. I don’t really believe that all things are explainable, especially since I drew from Amanda’s deck, my future just wasn’t as…ominious. I drew the ring card. Telling me that I’m going to wake up one day and find my prince charming only to run off and get married. Makes me wonder if all of Amanda’s predictions were so fool proof?

    -Penny

31. savannah_xs 10.01.2009

    I think it happened on purpose or Casey’s dad had some rivals, and that rivals wanted to kill Casey’s dad. And I also feel that Amanda has a connection on Casey’s dad death.

32. Nerd 10.10.2009

    weird. i think she was messing with fate. i heard about Caseys dads death but i ditn no any thing bout the cards.

33. AutumnDiana 10.12.2009

    That’s freaky, but weird things hapen everyday.

34. lilaircadet 10.18.2009

    Our lives are like a book, everythin we go through is set out for us, waiting, all we have to do is the turn the pages and travel through the story, we may not be able to change the future, but whats not to say we can’t peak ahead- like a kid doesnt want to read an english book, he reads the back page first….
    we can’t make things happen, but we can see whats already there….
    Say with homemade tarot cards???

35. Reepicheep 10.18.2009

    Creepy to weird to explain

36. Shudlow115 10.22.2009

    I remember one time in her sixth period art class that she had that box sitting at the upper most corner of her workplace.  When I asked her about it she just shrugged and went back to her abstract painting (which I must say was absolutely fabulous! All my other students should be envious of that work of art!).  Near the end of the period she gave one of the other students a ‘reading’, I don’t clearly remember what the cards were of but she predicted that the future would start to become very difficult for his family.  A month or so later his family had to leave their house because they couldn’t make the payments anymore.  I’m not sure if this is coincidence or if it is really because of the cards, all I know is that those sorts of things are powerful and shouldn’t be messed with.

37. Maddiemays 11.07.2009

    maybe amanda killed the man herself. with how unstable she is, you never know….

38. FindingMe<3 11.28.2009

    @Maddiemays, Amanda is not a killer. She may be mysterious, but she wouldn’t kill anyone. And she is not unstable. Anyways, this is not a coincidence. Somehow Amanda knows things that she shouldn’t and no one knows how she gets the info. But she knew Casey had it coming. Casey must have done something bad, and karma is coming her way. This is far from coincidencs, because around Orion, and if you know Amanda, you know nothing happens without there being a reason for it.

39. Nicolla 12.21.2009

    ohk, that’s alittle, well reallyy, F.R.E.A.K.Y!!!!

    amazing
    yikes!

40. Sabastian 01.16.2010

    Those cards are accurate, but they aren’t dangerous.

    I thought they were regular tarot cards so I asked her to do a reading for me. She told me that they weren’t tarot cards, but I was okay with it. We just needed something to do before class started. She told me to draw a card, and I pulled out this weird looking checkered one with a zipper running across it. She looked at it and shrugged. I asked her what it meant, and she just told me that I should stop lying to myself. I remember asking her if there were more to it, but she told me that she didn’t want to pry into my fate.

    As far as I know, Amanda was responsible. Why would she tell Casey to draw THREE cards? Casey probably did it herself, and Amanda saw what she wasn’t supposed to see. So back off, it isn’t murder or anything like that.

41. kitkat1112 01.16.2010

    RealityCheck if you think amanda is a freak then what are you doing on this website trying to find her….. as for poor casey im sorry her dad died…. as for the tarot cards i think that peanut_butter & Odd are right

42. Skinnyhippo 01.19.2010

    this may sound creepy but what if someone found out she drew that card and murded him. i’m probally just freaking out. sorry. But it would be freaky if that happend.

43. JesaminMolly 02.07.2010

    Obvs astrology and fate and all that is part of your journey. I don’t think the tarot cards are to be laughed at (or me, for that matter). Symbols seem to be Amanda’s way of helping Cal, Nia and Hal to find the next clue! So why not believe it! J x

44. Shellgirl 02.10.2010

    I think that the tarot cards are just another a way to think of fate and karma, they’re just giving you a heads up, the cards by giving you a hint and can have alot of meanings.

45. etan 02.18.2010

    I think it was just a total coincidence… Anyways, I don’t see how “your time is up” has anything to do with her dad dieing.

46. trumpetgirl 02.19.2010

    I think it is a coincidence as well, and agree with etan on how your time is up has anything to do with her dad. When I saw that phrase I assumed _she_ would die, or get injured or something.

47. OperaGhost 02.20.2010

    The expression ‘Your time is up’ can mean a multiple number of things. Maybe Casey and her dad didnt get along & her time was up trying to fix it. Do we know anymore about the relationship between Casey and her dad?

48. lindzkin 02.23.2010

    Okay that is freaky! I mean i’ve read that people have used tarrot cards to tell the future. amanda is right karma does not need help My mom always says “what gos around comes around” its pretty much the golden rule

49. sgst1993 02.25.2010

    That is really perculilar. How in the world could it go from “You’ll be tardy” to death. Quoting my favorite character, it gets “Cursiouer and Cursiouer.”

50. kiwigirl 02.28.2010

    Amanda was right to get rid of that card! But it could be mean another thing too!

51. KassidyAnn 03.03.2010

    These are freaky. I mean, I got the Skeleton Key, The Easel, and The Lock. And they all are right on the nose! I just moved to a new town, so the kids here kind of lock me out, just like the card says. And my parents seem to be in control of a annoyingly large part of my life and I feel like I want to be more in control so the Easel card was perfect. And there’s a boy I like and he ignores me all the time and I was just about to give up when the Skeleton Key card said to peruse what makes you happy, no matter what! Cool! Freaky, but cool!

52. madmor25 03.12.2010

    Amanda read my future on the tarot cards and she said my dream will come alive and one will die. I found out that this kid I like doesn’t like me and 2 dreams came true. I got a gold on the vault for the first time in gymnastics and I got invited to be a cantor for church at school!

53. KassidyAnn 03.13.2010

    strange…

54. myonlooker45 03.13.2010

    creapy…

55. jessicahuey 03.28.2010

    chillax, Callie. This kind of stuff can happen. Like with an Ouija board or something. Don’t sweat it just take a deep breath!

56. Hinaru 04.01.2010

    These things have two possibilities, 1. A coincedence, 2. The cards tells the truth, so what I’m trying to say is that, it may be the truth or a coincedence. It may seem creaper and all, but there’s no changing the future, some things just has to come, my thoughts are that it’s the truth, not saying that I always should believe any fortune telling people, just that it seems so real, unless if she knew something that was suppost to happen before she ‘read’ Casey…

57. thefreespirit 04.29.2010

    what if amanda turns out to be evil and she like… idk killed casey’s dad or something. if anyone could pull off anything like that it would be amanda.. of course i don’t actually think that’s the case… mabye amanda had super natural powers like those people who swear they can sence someon’s presence even though they are dead. or it could have been a coinky dink.. idk either way.. that was freaky!!

58. Hinaru 04.29.2010

    >thefreespirit> Lolz! I doubt it. But I do agree that its freaky. =P

59. Basil_H. 06.26.2010

    I don’t believe the cards CAUSED anyone to die, and Amanda was probably upset by what happened, too. I think I agree with Tai most. I’ve noticed at least several times that I’ll think of a song, or a TV episode and then it’ll come on, or something similar. I told this to a friend and she asked me what my Zodiac sign is, but pointed out that not all people believe in this. Weird things happen, and I try to keep a slightly open mind to it. We must consider all clues while we search.

60. ace4799 07.08.2010

    Retiring the the card was definetly a good idea.

61. ChicGeek 07.13.2010

    what were the other two cards exactly?

62. ChicGeek 07.13.2010

    oh, and by the way, if any of you have read thirst no. 1 and 2, it talked about reincaarnation… one of the main charracter’s friends from over 100000000 years ago was reincarnated into the future and had the same scarf as the friend before (that’s how she knew) but the strange thing was that paula (reincarnated friend’s new name) before studied the stars…. she was in the astrologetical-voodoo-fortune-telling business.

63. Grooveshark 08.25.2010

    FlyingAway i totally get it it had to happen like if you get a F on a test that means you did not understand that material and so you needed an F so you could continue studying and for every one who claims to know Amanda please tell the truth. it really irks me when you say things that make no scene with the plot at least make it plauseable.By the way did anyone figure out all of the cards pictures??
