I've had some small experiences with him after a talisman with his image was hung around my neck during a meditation about Solomon's Temple with the instructions to meditate on the meaning (I was flipping out when I looked down and very clearly saw what it was). I would say he is very strong medicine only to be taken 'by prescription ' as it were. He is a very saturnine being that can help a would-be occultist get out of their head and into the rest of their body. He is also the divine androgene uniting male and female, spiritual and material. Of course, many have used that image for less 'idealistic' purposes so I think that mudies the water a bit...
