Evola delivered a series of lectures to the Independent Theosophical League in 1925 which were published under the title: “L’Individuo e il Divenire del Mondo”.
Anthroposophists were included in the Ur and Krur groups. In particular, Evola regarded the anthroposophist Duke Colonna di Cesaro’ as a friend, and not just in his youth. Evola published a review of one of the Duke’s books in La Vita Italiana in 1939. It shows that Evola was quite familiar the anthroposophical doctrines, but was not at all sympathetic with them.

Subject: [evola_as_he_is] J. Evola and Theosophy
H.T. Hansen's essay 'Julius Evola's Political Endeavors' mentions that J. Evola in the early period of his life had some contacts within theosophical and anthroposophical circles. Nothing about a lodge membership.
At least at one time he would have published an article in Ultra, the newspaper of the Theosophical Lodge in Rome.
In 'Against the modern world' (M. Sedgwick) however on p. 99 it is said that : "Evola first joined the Independent Theosophical League, which had been established in Italy by Reghini and Decio Calvari. Through this league and through Calvari, Evola discovered oriental religion." (http://azhartomorrow.al-fath.net/multmadia/bookes/anther%20body/27.pdf)
Does this hold water?
