Ritual and Music are my top two. I suck at Trance and Astral for myself, but I'm really good at facilitating them for other people. (Which sums up my invocation experience -- haven't managed it yet myself, but I haven't found anyone yet I can't help over the line within a few minutes of working with them.)

My divination is passable (used to be better, but I'm rusty these days); my energy work (psych dev) is pretty good, but I can't 'see' what I'm doing, which can be frustrating. If I know something needs to happen, I can make it happen without difficulty, even if it's incredibly complex (like opening a door into death for a trapped spirit). Usually someone else has to notice the problem, though. :-/

And, of course, you have awakened an aromatic addiction in me that will bankrupt me if I'm not careful. You're worse than a pusher. >:-)
