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.

I’ve used this powder in different ways: in my son’s hair when he had a head cold; dressed a candle with it when my 80-year-old mom was in the hospital after having had a seizure (she was released just 3 days later in unbelievable condition); and dressed candles for my 93-year-old cousin as she was transitioning as well as her two daughters. I find this powder gives comfort and heals what needs to be healed. It’s easy to work with. It’s like having support I can lean on whenever I need it. So grateful to have this on hand.

I used both Asclepius and Son of Apollo incense interchangeably smoke bathing myself almost during a ritual leading up to a follow up important medical appointment where I’d been trying to get an issue taken seriously and had been fighting to get into the ‘right hands’. The incense does clear the space, but I also found it very helpful, and did in the days after find myself in the ‘right hands’, rather amusingly given I’m not from Greece and don’t encounter many Greek doctors… the doctor/surgeon/‘right hands’ is a Greek doctor (who trained in America in the speciality I ended up needing). No matter whether you would consider that a lucky coincidence, beautiful synchronicity or helping hand. Regardless of which, I found the incense very helpful and it aided in providing me in what I needed and was working towards.

as mentioned in my other reviews for v. 4 this iteration seems more insulating/comforting to me than the others - in a good (the best) way. I mistakenly burned some SOA incense at night instead of the regular ASC and oof couldn't sleep! Definitely for daytime use only. I use the incense ritually for clearing out stuck energies in the home (read: teenagers bringing home nasties), dressing candles and the like. Don't know what I would do without the hunky healer in my sphere, and so grateful I don't have to find out.
