This only works if you assume A) the Naked Goddess is the WECHBY, which I
don't necessarily believe; and B) the WECHBY and the Mother occupy the same
space, something the canon of UA actively denies by noting the Mother is
still an available archetype to follow.

I no more believe the Mother and the Whore are the same space metaphysically
than that the Father and the Pimp are the same metaphysically.  I think
there's an inherent nature to bilateralize metaphysical cocepts (how's that
for a college created sentence) and that somehow this perceptor-created
bisection has universal value due to one's perception of it.  That is, that
we will tend to look at something assign two "sides" to it.  We will then
tend to assume that everyone percieve's those two sides.  I don't think that
the universe necessarily assumes those sides, or rather, it assigns sides
that share a common point.  The two sides of the mother are nurturing vs.
smothering.  The whore is really a separate concept.
