Ana is the creator of all things. From her womb came forth all of Otan and all of the creatures and all of the people. Contemplating the feelings and motives of Ana is undoubtedly a difficult task. Humans simply do not have a frame of reference when it comes to giving birth to worlds and thus communion with Ana is more based on feelings than any true understanding of divine concepts.
To create a bridge between her and all of creation, Ana gave birth to the Baksi, seven gods of widely varied character to commune with the souls of her creation. Three of the Baksi are elemental in nature, three were created to intercede in the affairs of the people and one was created to make them all humble, often through trickery and deceit.
Intercession
To have a meaningful interaction with Ana would probably strip the sanity from her interlocutor. Ana is a goddess well beyond the experience and understanding of mortals. Similarly, she too has little connection to the day-to-day experiences of human existence. Thus, she does not intercede in human affairs. It is perhaps possible that with much prodding from her Baksi, she might use her incredible power to alter the entire planet, there is nothing in legend to indicate that she has altered Otan since giving it birth.
