Flux is proud to have launched the careers of three New York Times bestselling authors: Laurie Faria Stolarz, Maggie Stiefvater, and Simone Elkeles. Elkeles's Flux title Return to Paradise made its debut on the New York Times bestseller list in September, 2010. Llewellyn has also partnered with Italian publisher Lo Scarabeo, and is the exclusive US and Canadian distributor of Lo Scarabeo's beautiful tarot and oracle decks."[1] A new era at Llewellyn Publications commenced in 1961, the year Carl L. Weschcke of St. Paul, Minnesota purchased the company and relocated it to the Midwest. [1]

In addition to publishing or re-issuing influential works by Raymond Buckland, Dion Fortune, Aleister Crowley, Lady Sheba, Melita Denning, and Osborne Phillips. Llewellyn published Israel Regardie’s The Golden Dawn, A Garden of Pomegranates, The Middle Pillar and The Tree of Life—four books forming a complete library of esoteric knowledge and practice. " [2]
