“Joan the Wad has been associated with Jack o' the Lantern, the King of the Pixies. The two may also be considered will-o'-the-wisp type characters who lead travellers astray on lonely moors, hence the rhyme: However, Joan is also thought to use her Wad (Torch) to light the way to safety and good luck, as another rhyme says, "Good fortune will nod, if you carry upon you Joan the Wad".”
