Dark Shining Wolf X THE WAD

Great to be collaborating with THE WAD – making wavers for their upcoming performances! The wavers will be my first outing under my alter ego – Dark Shining Wolf – the meanings of my given names.
THE WAD are a Falmouth-based Morris dancing side named after Joan the WAD, Queen of the Cornish Piskies. Cornish folklore suggests that Joan the WAD would light people to safety, or sometimes peril, across the Cornish moors.
The word ‘wad’ is often recorded as an old Cornish colloquial term for ’torch’ or bundle of straw. Joan the WAD is now seen as a good luck charm to many.
Increase your good fortune – Join THE WAD!
