How, uh...bizarre.
She never even approached an answer to the questions, just spouted new agey garbage.

(yeah, her stuff was garbage, alright)

Well yeah, it's The Onion. What do you expect? It's a parody of various New Age flakes.

Well, I know it's The Onion, and all...but, still, they're usually on the ball enough to make it sound like it's an attempt at being coherent.

coherent?

these are the same folks that have 'ask an introduction to a foxtrot book' as advice columns, right?

Not sure, but they have: "Ask a Gut-shot Cop", "Ask A Man Getting Yelled At By His Wife Over The Phone At Work", and "Ask Miss Omaha Dairy Products 1953"

I believe they were poking fun in a way that pagans would get.... Often ones asks a fluffy bunny a very mundane questions and gets back a tirade of incoherant babble about the stars and karma.
