Ask Raven.
For the wise one listens,
and answers with song from winter waters
where memory drifts and clings.

Each year, as the cold tightens its grip on Lake Michigan,
sailors speak of a ship that never finished its voyage.
A schooner bound with evergreen trees.
A deck glowing softly in snow and fog.
Seen only at night.
Gone by morning.

Some say it is a ghost ship.
Some say it is caught in a loop —
forever returning,
forever unfinished.

In this Ask Raven short,
I circle above the lake and tell the tale
of the Christmas Tree Ship
and the silence that follows her wake.

Listen closely.
Winter remembers what the water keeps.

What you forget, Raven remembers.
Through fire and embers, Raven remembers.
Nevermore. Nevermore. Nevermore.

AskRaven WeekendTrilogy EP3 | Three Days Adrift — Blind Survivor & the Ghost Crew

Ask Raven.

I circle above the waters where memory does not sink.
Where storms keep names.
Where the sea remembers every crossing.

In the dead of winter, a halibut longliner goes down in Hecate Strait.
All hands are lost… except one.

For three days, a single man drifts alone in a survival suit, blind from seawater, telling himself the same thing again and again:
Hold on until dawn. Rescue will come.

What he does not know is that the sun is already rising.
He simply cannot see it.

On the third day, helicopters are launched — not to rescue survivors, but to recover bodies.
Instead, they find a living man.

And in the darkness, while he waits for a dawn he cannot see, something else comes for him across the waves:
a small wooden dory,
three silent men rowing without sound,
a crew not meant to save… but to collect.

This is a story of survival, belief, and the thin line between holding on and letting go.

What you forget, Raven remembers.
Through fire and embers, Raven remembers.
Nevermore. Nevermore. Nevermore.

Ask Raven.
For the wise one listens and answers with song.

In Weekend Trilogy Episode Two, Raven circles above Seymour Narrows,
a narrow throat of water where tides move faster than thought
and the sea keeps its own count.

This spoken-word episode tells the true story of the Miss Joy,
a fishing vessel that entered the Narrows in darkness
and rolled for the third time.

A cook was trapped underwater inside an overturned ship.
The current was violent.
Air was fading.

Then a diver entered the wreck.

What followed was a miracle rescue —
a moment of courage pulled from impossible conditions
and returned to the surface.

This is a spoken-word sea story about survival,
about timing,
and about the rule of three the sea seems to obey.

What you forget, Raven remembers.
Through fire and embers, Raven remembers.
Nevermore. Nevermore. Nevermore.

Ask Raven.
For the wise one listens and answers with song.

This is Episode One of the Ask Raven Weekend Trilogy — a spoken-word sea poem drawn from a true coastal encounter near Bella Bella.

On a birthday night aboard the PE-224, a phantom gillnetter appeared in dark water and led six souls toward unseen rock.
What followed was not a chase of speed, but of memory — a ghost boat moving faster than it should, guiding the living toward danger.

Told from above by Raven, this story blends maritime lore, Indigenous memory, and poetic narration, echoing the rule of threes that runs through coastal history.

Three nights.
Three stories.
One voice that never forgets.

What you forget, Raven remembers.
Through fire and embers, Raven remembers.
Nevermore. Nevermore. Nevermore.

🪶 ASK RAVEN — WEEKEND TRILOGY EP3

Memory returns on the winds above Reid Pass.

In this final chapter of the Weekend Trilogy, Raven circles the water where three lives met a glow not born of lantern, moon, or tide. A cousin kneeling in silence. A green orb drifting from the forest. A beam of living light that moved with intention.

Raven watches as the rule of threes reveals itself again:
three coats, three who walked into stone, and now three caught in a moment where memory bends and time slips thin.

This episode follows the path of the memory that vanished…
and the moment it came flooding back.

If you’ve ever lost time after witnessing something strange, or felt a knowing strike you before your mind could name it, Raven invites you to listen closely and consider the pattern.

What you forget, Raven remembers.
Through fire and embers, Raven remembers.
Nevermore. Nevermore. Nevermore.

Weekend Trilogy EP2: Family Walked Into Stone

Ask Raven…
for tonight I lift you above the coastline where memory bends,
where stone is not always stone,
and three souls once stepped through a seam the world tried to hide.

This second chapter of the Weekend Trilogy follows the ancient account of three grown siblings who walked along a harsh Heiltsuk shore — calm, steady, unafraid — and disappeared not behind a boulder, but into it.
Witnesses stood alive on that beach. Their words never drifted, never changed.
And from my cedar perch above the tide, I watched the moment the world thinned like breath against cold glass.

Here, the rule of threes rises again:
three coats of shine…
three who crossed a granite line…
three who vanished without sound or dust.

Through shifting light, trembling stone, and the soft hum that comes before a doorway opens, we follow the siblings not as myths — but as wanderers who met a boundary few ever see.

Where did they go?
A distant coastline?
A place between worlds?
Or a layered stream where time moves differently?

Listen closely.
This is the rarest kind of crossing, echoed through generations and carried now into your hands.

If this story calls to you, make sure you’re ready for the final chapter of the trilogy — where Raven takes you to a village older than carved memory, where the phenomenon still stirs.

What you forget, Raven remembers.
Through fire and embers, Raven remembers.
Nevermore. Nevermore. Nevermore.

Ask Raven returns to one of the oldest Heiltsuk transformation accounts — a ritual that blurs the line between myth and misunderstood technology. Three walked with borrowed grace. Two lost their power. One escaped through a shining path. Was this spirit magic… or something far more advanced?

Weekend Trilogy EP1 begins the arc.

What you forget, Raven remembers.
Through fire and embers, Raven remembers.
Nevermore. Nevermore. Nevermore.
