Well. I really want to put my beliefs into something. It's most likely Eclectic Neo-Paganism & Witchcraft.
I believe in a Goddess. I see her in all forms of Femininity, The Moon, Earth and Nature. (Mainly a polarity). She is the ruler of night and the mother to everything. She gives life with the promise of death, and as she changes, so does the Earth and the seasons.
I also believe in a God, who is the lover and consort of the goddess. He is seen in the Sun, daytime, fire, air, nature and all masculine energy. He is warmth and inspiration. He dies once a year and returns when he is reborn of the Goddess. He is the father to all life. As he and the Goddess grow and change, so does the Earth.
I'm a soft polytheist. That every deity is an aspect of the two above, and I'm believing in and worshiping an aspect of them.
I am also animistic - I believe every animal, tree, plant, human etc. has a spirit. Since I also believe everything is infused with the same divine life-force.
I also believe all natural places or objects have a spirit or energy attached to them. I believe my crystals have spirits within them, because they are extremely old.
I also consider myself a Witch. Since I practice divination, crystal magic, spellwork, and healing (generally just being nice and sending out "love").

Well...if you're looking for a label or a box for your beliefs...
I'm pretty sure 'Eclectic Neo-Pagan Witchcraft' is, as you said, a good one for what you do.

Maybe knowing where these beliefs come from can help too- like knowing why you're a soft polytheist or why you view things in a gender-binary.
For example- I'm 3rd gendered, if your god is a god of Masculine energy, and your goddess is a goddess of all things feminime- which one of them cares for people like me?

Sanguina Cruenta I'm sort of confused - what do you want help with? Giving that a title, or as Morg said: a label or box.
