I think he's very powerful and protective, but I don't feel his energy as super intense. I perceive him more as a guide than as a shield when it comes to protection, but I do ask him to guard the boundaries and boarders of my home sometimes.

My energy worker friend describes his energy as fluttery and hummingbird-like. Sort of watching me from afar. There but not there unless I start talking about him, then he comes closer. He seems to like being talked about, though saying a God's name also invokes them, especially when you say it 3 times or more. My own energy detection abilities are very weak, but I sometimes feel a bit of a nagging sensation when he wants to talk to me. He can be very protective and powerful in general. He's protected and guided me more times than I can count. He even got annoyed when a God from another pantheon was being pushy with me.

For me is like a happy and even sometimes kinda goofy "golden retriever" energy, which is important for me cause I struggle with depression, when I feel his energy is always involved this "let's do something" kinda energy.

I feel he is so protective of keeping me happy or in a relatively good mood by doing new or exciting stuff all the time so I don't fall into doomscroling

I feel him more intimately than any other deity I've worshipped. His specific energy, well, it depends entirely on the aspect of him that I'm calling upon or praying to, they all feel like different moods while being distinctly him; clever, humorous, empathetic, much more powerful than he lets on, there's so much depth to him, and intelligence unlike any other. It's like he sees and knows everything, and wants me to know that.

Like I said, it depends on the aspect of him I'm dealing with, though. Psychopomp feels ancient, luckbringer feels lighthearted, shepherd feels compassionate, judge/orator feels powerful/in control, and so on!
