While some argue that Ayyanna can't act alone without an order from Waaqa, others claim that the Ayyaana are able to directly affect all aspects of life. Different regions of Oromo hold varying beliefs and understandings of what the Ayyanaa are capable of. They possess men and women and thus speak with the people. The Ayyaana are not capable of creation but provide communication. The Ayyaana are believed to be divinities that serve as messengers between Waaqa and his creations. The term is believed to indicate that Waaqa is the origin of everything, is mysterious and he is the one that can not be interfered with. The Oromo people also use the term Waaqa Gurr'acha to address the creator, which translates as 'the black God'. This supreme being is addressed through a variety of names in the different regions and many believe that the term Waaqa means 'the God with many names'. Waaqa is the supreme being and is omniscient, omni-benevolent and omnipotent.
