Ships of Hagoth is a digital-first literary magazine featuring creative nonfiction and theoretical essays by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Where other LDS-centric publications often look inward at the LDS tradition, we seek literary works that look outward through the curious, charitable lens of faith.

Here’s a short, imaginative story inspired by the title Electrical Machines 2 by J.B. Gupta . The Armature’s Whisper

That night, as a thunderstorm raged outside, Rohan fell asleep with his head on the open book. He dreamed of a vast, humming laboratory. In its center stood an ancient, three-phase alternator, its rotor slowly spinning. And standing beside it was a man with wire-rimmed glasses and a compass in his hand.

He passed with distinction. Years later, as a junior professor, Rohan would hold up his worn copy of J.B. Gupta and tell his students: “Don’t just read this book. Let it dream with you.”

“I’m Gupta,” the man said. “You’ve been reading my words, but not listening to the machines.”

Rohan woke with a jolt. The storm had passed. His copy of Electrical Machines 2 lay open to the page on salient pole machines. But now, the diagrams seemed alive. He picked up a pen and solved five problems before sunrise—not by memorizing, but by understanding.

For what felt like hours, Gupta didn’t teach—he revealed. He showed Rohan how the rotating magnetic field wasn't just a theory but a silent dance. He explained armature reaction not as a paragraph but as a force—like wind pushing against a walker. And then he whispered the secret that no PDF could capture: “Every machine has a voice. You just have to listen with your equations.”

Gupta pointed to the alternator. “This is not a diagram, boy. It is a conversation between copper and iron, between field and armature. The synchronous speed is not a formula—it is a pact. If the rotor falls out of step, the whole system screams.”

A CALL FOR

SUB
MISS
IONS

We are hoping—for “one must needs hope”—for creative nonfiction, theoretical essays, and craft essays that seek radical new ways to explore and express theological ideas; that are, like Hagoth, “exceedingly curious.”

We favor creative nonfiction that can trace its lineage back to Michel de Montaigne. Whether narrative, analytical, or devotional, these essays lean ruminative, conversational, meandering, impressionistic, and are reluctant to wax didactic. 

As for theoretical essays: we welcome work that playfully and charitably explores the wide world of arts & letters—especially works created from differing religious, non-religious, and even irreligious perspectives—through the peculiar lens of a Latter-day Saint.

We read and publish submissions as quickly as possible, and accept simultaneous submissions.
