Some of you have come to know me as lilgeekess (my old username), and others as Ada (my real nickname). You can check your inboxes or my past threads to remember who I am
![Very Happy :-D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
My new username is MistressOfTheMoon but it's too long so just call me Ada if you could remember that

I never really got to know a lot of you here at EUTM since I was only active for a couple of weeks since August 2013, and been AWOL ever since.
Well... A LOT has happened to me since then.
1. I established a connection with Hecate after being encouraged by a priest of Hers to confirm whether or not She was calling me. I confirmed that She was indeed calling me months after this experience: http://everythingunderthemoon.net/forum ... 24630.html
And now I am Her humble follower. I'll talk more about this "confirmation" in a new post. Link to follow

2. I've shifted from my focus on crystals to tarot divination (something I've been doing for years even while I wasn't actively studying/practicing) and dream work/analysis. I've been getting more dreams ever since I connected with Hecate, and sometimes get prophetic and revelational dreams. I still work with crystals though and am absolutely addicted to them.
3. My crystal collection has nearly doubled since I posted this: http://everythingunderthemoon.net/forum ... 24530.html and this one http://everythingunderthemoon.net/forum ... 24752.html
Okay, maybe it tripled... Almost threw away those which I discovered were man-made. They're just hidden somewhere I can't see them now.
I have only worked with a handful of these crystals, often experimenting with them one at a time whenever I feel like it. I'll see if I find time to share photos of my other crystals

4. With regards to tarot divination, I've started to work with the Minor Arcana after YEARS of just working with my Major Arcana. From my Esoteric Deck, I know work more with my Zombie Deck (newly bought). I'm a huge fan of the zombie cult and this deck just works for me wonderfully. I also have a Rider Waite deck I use for developing my intuitive reading.
Plus, I've started to read for other people but my "style" is a bit different to most readers. Plus, I've been frequently told that reading for oneself is NOT advisable as you tend to have clouded judgement. But I never let this opinion affect me and continue to do readings for myself - as I had been doing for YEARS. I find them quite accurate and often, slap me in the face with reality

5. I'm exploring other forms of divination every now and then, such as using the "mind's eye," ceromancy, and trance. Trance is very problematic to me as I tend to forget what I saw when I snap back to reality haha. I'm more fond of ceromancy though

6. I often do devotions to Hecate. I'm a busy bee, so I only do it when I have enough free time. She doesn't seem to mind

7. I now call myself an Eclectic Witch. My practice is more experiment-based and "whatever the f*ck I feel like doing". I do not cast any major spells besides enchantment of crystals and symbolic pendants for protection and enhanced communication. Though sometimes, I feel like I unintentionally send out intentions that eventually manifest haha. With a little push on the physical plane of course
