Yes, to be sure, I was deeply moved by the images of her on the screen. Yes, she was playing the role of a fantasy feminist superheroine in the TV series. So I saw her as a fantasy female figure. As a fantasy female figure, the image of her on the screen that I became ardently infatuated with also evoked some deeper connections in my psyche with the feminine archetypes in my psyche.

Now, starting in the early 1990s, I was impressed with the work of the Jungian psychotherapist and psychological theorist Robert Moore (1942-2016; Ph.D. in religion and psychology, University of Chicago, 1975) of the Chicago Theological Seminary - and I also became infatuated with him and his work. With Douglas Gillette as his co-author, Moore published a series of five books in the early 1990s about the four masculine archetypes in the human psyche: (1) the King archetype; (2) the masculine Warrior/Knight archetype; (3) the masculine Magician/Shaman archetype. and (4) the masculine Lover archetype. See the "References" at the end of this essay. But Moore's theory of the archetypes in the human psyche included positing four similar feminine archetypes of maturity in the human psyche: (1) the Queen archetype; (2) the feminine Warrior/Knight archetype; (3) the feminine Magician/Shaman archetype; and (4) the feminine Lover archetype.

Late in 2024, I published the following six OEN articles about Moore's theory of the archetypes of maturity in the human psyche:

(1) "Young Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman" (dated September 3, 2024).

(2) "Robert Moore on Optimal Human Psychological Development" (dated September 17, 2024).

(3) "Thomas J. Farrell's Encore on young Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman" (dated September 30, 2024).

(4) "Thomas J. Farrell's Encore on Robert Moore" (dated October 10, 2024).

(5) "John F. Kennedy Was a Compulsive Womanizer" (dated November 29, 2024).

(6) "Texas' War on Porn, and Robert Moore's Theory of the Archetypes of Maturity" (dated December 6, 2024).

But my 2024 OEN articles about Robert Moore's theory of the eight archetypes of maturity in the human psyche, each of which is accompanied by two "shadow" forms, does not explain explicitly which archetypes, or which "shadow" forms, in my psyche were activated by my incredibly strong infatuation with the busty young Lynda Carter in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume. Perhaps all four of the feminine archetypes of maturity in my psyche were activated by and resonating with the images of the busty young Lynda Carter in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume - or perhaps at least certain "shadow" forms of the four feminine archetypes in my psyche were activated by and resonating with the images of the busty young Lynda Carter in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume. After all, Wonder Woman as portrayed by the busty young Lynda Carter in the 1970s television series represents the feminine Warrior/Knight archetype, the feminine Magician/Shaman archetype, and the feminine Lover archetype. In the fantasy in the 1970s Wonder Woman television series starring the busty young Lynda Carter, Wonder Woman's mother, back on Paradise Island, is the Queen of the Amazons - making our Wonder Woman only a princess, not yet a fully formed Queen. (The backstory of Wonder woman in the 1970s Wonder Woman television series is essentially the backstory that William mouton Marston created for Wonder Woman in the comic books.)

Ah, but does this interpretation of Wonder Woman in the 1970s Wonder Woman television series mean that my incredibly strong infatuation with the busty young Lynda Carter in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume does not involve the optimal and positive form of the Queen archetype in my psyche? No doubt this is exactly what it means. Of course, in accord with Robert Moore's theory of the "shadow" forms accompanying each archetype of maturity, this interpretation also means that I am drawing on one or the other of the two "shadow" forms of the queen archetype in my psyche: (1) The Tyrant "shadow" form of the Queen archetype; or (2) The Weakling "shadow" form of the Queen archetype - or else it means that I alternate between these two "shadow" forms of the Queen archetype in my psyche. However, I have not yet figured out how to adjudicate this matter. Suffice it to say here that I have yet to learn how to access the optimal and positive form of the Queen archetype of maturity in my psyche.

However that may be, between December 23, 2005, and December 1, 2024, certain other male fans of the busty young Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman posted 201 fake nude pics of her at CFake.com - most of which accentuate the beauty of her nude body. No doubt the busty young Lynda Carter's male fans who posted those 201 fake nude pics of her at CFake.com see her as a gorgeous fantasy (and so do I) -- and the fake nude images of her that they post at CFake.com involve what Jung refers to as fantasy thinking involving images and associate thinking. Yes, fake nude pics of her that her male fans post at CFake.com may help the viewers of those fake nude images evoke the return of the goddess in their psyches (in Edward C. Whitmont's terminology - discussed below), just as the alluring images of the busty young Lynda Carter in the 1970s Wonder Woman television series may help evoke the return of the goddess in the psyches of the viewers. (Below I will also discuss the images of gorgeous women playing the role of mom in the fantasy skits in mom-son porn videos on the internet and the desires their images evoke in male viewers.)

Now, of the 201 fake nude pics of Lynda Carter at CFake.com, my favorite is the one posted on October 31, 2022. It is ranked #12 in Popularity and #2 in Rating (the viewers may check boxes below each pic to rate it). In any event, in it, Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman is nude, and she is in propping herself up with her two hands behind her (showing her Wonder Woman bracelets on each arm) and her legs spread far apart giving us a wonderful view of her p*ssy and her boobs resting on her chest. She wears her Wonder Woman tiara, and she is looking straight out at us.

A very similar fake nude pic of her was posted on November 25, 2024. It is ranked #4 in Rating (of 201). An AI fake nude pic of the busty young Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman was posted on November 14, 2023. It is rated #1 in Popularity and #3 in Rating. The fake nude pic of the busty young Lynda Carter posted on October 9, 2019, is #1 in Rating.

For her part, the savvy Lynda Carter today maintains an email site for her fans to send her email messages: fanmail|AT|lyndacarter.comEmail address.

I do not know of any other Hollywood actresses who maintain email accounts specifically for fan mail messages. As a result of watching the busty young Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman in the DVD version of the 1970s Wonder Woman television series, I am a Lynda Carter fan, and in 2024, I sent Lynda Carter fan letters via email messages. I can attest that I have received email responses from the staff that Lynda Carter employs to respond to her fan mail. In 2024, I have also occasionally sent certain other Hollywood actresses fan letters via email messages to email accounts they maintain, but I have not received responses to any of those email messages. In any event, I sent those email fan letters to those various actresses in 2024 as one way to process the mild euphoria I experienced for about ten weeks in late 2024 as a result of my incredibly strong infatuation with the busty young Lynda Carter in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Women costume in the 1970s Wonder Woman television series. Yes, both in the case of the actress Lynda Carter and the other actresses to whom I sent email fan letters in late 2024, I was a fan infatuated with an actress in a television series that I had viewed in the DVD version of the series on the big-screen television in the living room of my home.
