If I ever had to tell someone, even a person completely inexperienced with the realm of magical materia, to get one and only one item - this would be it. It's as safe as it gets, a great place to begin with because there is no harm that could ever come from it. It's cleansing, protecting and restoring. On the other hand, an advanced practitioner will benefit from it as much, if not more, as a beginner. It's perfect for cleansing any residual energies from other workings, for supporting self-healing or healing of others, for protecting against darkness, to remove any unwelcome spiritual presence. It has many uses and, in my humble opinion, should find its way into any practitioner's hands.

One of my most used incenses. I find it works wonders as a mood booster. I feel more optimistic and divinely protected and supported. Thank you!

I got covid last spring which has been one of my biggest fears due to covid's long lasting harms in general but also because I have conditions that predispose me to worse outcomes in the acute and chronic phase. It was rough, but I used this incense twice a day, smoke cleansing the whole body as well as my Paxlovid pills, and saying the prayer to Asclepius. I've been spared of lingering effects, and I think using it so constantly for over a month had other health benefits. It also is great at getting you the resources you need to heal. When I first received this incense, I sat down to meditate and connect with it. It came in a communication that Asclepius is not just the doctor who comes into the room, looks at the cold hard facts, prescribes something or doesn't, and leaves. Asclepius is the healer who sings at the bedside, who bathes the heated forehead, who listens and crys and cares. Big Aragorn in Return of the King vibes. Because of this, I think it's also very useful for healing medical trauma and helping to protect from it.

Be prepared-using Son of Apollo powder has been a very healing experience. It can bring up deep down reasons for some physical problems. Personally, I experienced an increase of a particular symptom and then had a very intense emotional cleansing down to the point of old childhood stuff coming up that surrounded said injury. I will say it was heavy-but it healed very quickly-and the emotional stuff has not resurrected since(THAT is a first)-and the physical has been far less than it ever was. I knew it was gonna be some good stuff-but I am blown away at how it worked so fast and so well. Highly recommended.

This and classic Asclepius are my most-used incenses. Its energy is like a ray of sunshine. Whenever I need a little more optimism or pep in my step, this is what I reach for.

I love including a pinch of this powder in healing magic, cleansing charms, and other incenses. It seems to ameliorate most minor issues just by being present/included. Perhaps it brings with it the proverbial ounce of prevention!

I adore this incense. It is tied for my favorite Sphere and Sundry incense (tied with Regulus!) and use it at least weekly, if not daily. This incense fills you with a bright sense of reassurance and healthfulness. It has helped me through many illnesses in my family: I am able to stay more grounded and even-keel as I care for my sick family members. For me, the Son of Apollo line has a strong emotional support aspect. This incense is one of my staples from Sphere and Sundry.

This incense is one of my Sphere + Sundry must-haves. It is so useful.
It's perfect for cleansing during the ritual bath. I use it for petitions to Asclepius on behalf of loved ones. It has also come in handy for preparing a space with a lot of stuck energy, to be cleaned. It really worked to break up the muck.
I got the larger size, and am so glad I did. What a fantastic deal-- it seems to last forever. Absolutely worth the money.

My favorite incense. So easily accessible and immediate - I feel an undercurrent of radiance, drawing me in, warming from the chest out, soothing and clearing. Sort of feels similar to the physical and soul level after effects of a good back rub. Smells kinda like the air vented from a drier, but also like smoke from an outdoor oven. It sparks and flashes when I burn it. I have a Libra sun and tend to run cold, and I sleep easily using it before bed.

I love this incense. For people new to S+, know that these are true incenses and may have a little learning curve. I like working with it as a magical powder as well. I had the son of Apollo 3 powder and this is even better since it is versatile acting as both an incense and a powder.

Protip: try cutting a small amount of your powder with arrowroot to make a dusting powder that will last. This is only my recommendation for powerfully stretching powder, not for lighting as incense (not sure how that would work out) but in my experience arrowroot powder feels like a magnifier for the energies promoted by the base materia.
