The Lantern Ritual: A Modern Practice with Ancient Roots

The lantern ritual is a contemplative act of intention setting, inspired by centuries-old traditions of releasing light into the world as a form of prayer. Across cultures — from floating lanterns on rivers in East Asia to candle offerings in temples — people have turned to flame and light to carry their deepest hopes forward. Sacred Lantern brings this practice into a modern online spiritual guidance experience where you choose an intention, speak your wish, and receive a personalized symbolic blessing. Whether you seek healing, abundance, love, or simply a moment of peace, this quiet ritual meets you wherever you are.
