Two rejected the freemasons and their vulgar bastardization of esoteric traditions, the other was a freemason.

He accepted also regulary freemasonry but cared only about initiation which was still valid in its virtual form, not about whatever political views the modern freemasons have.

There's hardly any substantial analysis in Uzdavinys. He just draws as many connections as he can and cites as many scholars as possible. A book of his is almost purely a citations of other scholars.
