Grande Loge de France
In the early 1930s, under the pseudonym "Georges Marcenay", he wrote some articles for the right-wing newspapers "Candide" and "Le Jour", where he advocated an alliance between France and Italy against Nazi Germany. Dumézil's opposition to Nazism figures prominently in several of his later works on Germanic religion. At this time Dumézil joined the Grande Loge de France, a pro-Jewish masonic lodge, for which he would later be persecuted by the Nazis.
