In every culture, light has meant more than survival. Lanterns have glowed in festivals, prayers, and resistance, But alongside them flickers false lights.

In this episode of Moth & Lantern, Brooke Rae explores the duality of light. We'll follow lanterns and symbols of belonging, celebration, and more. As we are reminded that some lights, like the will-o-the-wisps, are symbols of deception and betrayal.

Along the way, we encounter Jungian psychology, modern conspiracy theories, and moral panics. These serve as reminders that lanterns and wisps live within us and our communities.

The Lure of the Lantern asks: Which flame deserves our trust? The steady glow of the lantern or the dazzling spark of the wisp?
