Nagel has participated in Nuage congresses:
http://www.ehoc.ugent.be/node/213Alexandra Nagel is enrolled as a PhD candidate at the faculty of Humanities, Leiden University.
Her dissertation will focus on the psychochirologist Julius Spier.
The background to this research is an MA in the history of western esotericism, which she finished in 2007 at the University of Amsterdam
We all know that Etty Hillesum was a student of Julius Spier. We also know that Spier had other students, and that a few devoted ones had formed a group around him – the “Spier Club” – of which Etty became an active participant. Spier was a hand-reader, or, as he called his profession, a "psycho-chirologist", who taught his students to read hands in accordance with the method he had developed. In other words, as a student of Spier’s, and by being Spier's secretary, Etty was on her way of becoming a psycho-chirologist herself. Despite the fact that we all know this, researchers so far have ignored this subject. By doing so, we have missed out on an intriguing aspect of Etty Hillesum’s life.
http://www.ehoc.ugent.be/node/139The aim of the Etty Hillesum Congress 2014 is to invite Hillesum scholars from all over the world to exchange valuable insights and to discuss problems that arise when studying Etty Hillesum's legacy. It is a unique and privileged opportunity to meet other colleagues in the field and to learn from their work, as well as to make use of the facilities of the Etty Hillesum Research Centre at Ghent University. It is an ideal moment to give Etty Hillesum, her Diaries and Letters, her vision and life, a wider publicity and media coverage.

So what we see in the article written by Nagel is a Nuager badly trying to keep sitting on the fence instead of speaking clear words. She keeps on ranting on how Crowther does not want to talk about the past, and goes pretty much out of her way not to come to the conclusion that this may be seen as an indication that Crowther indeed cannot defend her lies and exploitation. Another hint that Nagel's criticism of Crowther is just superficial is her making use of the fake title Crowther bestowed upon herself, „Little Grandmother“. Nagel also does not question the legitimacy of Crowther's fake Tribe of Many Dollars – errm, sorry: Colours.
However, Nagel not only avoids an explicit evaluation. Not coming to the obvious result in her article, Nagel needs to debase the statements ndn persons have given on Crowther and her claims – which she does not hesitate to do. As she thinks the arrows are flying, Nagel rushes to join the crew within the circle of waggons and sides with her white fellows singing „If you're white, you're right“.
No, Mevrouw Nagel: Crowther does not merit any benefit of doubt. Her claims of initiation, of belonging to ndn nations are childish fantasies, used as a sales pitch for a white audience eager to believe her. Your badmouthing of ndn persons who pointed out that Crowther misrepresents herself is a nice piece of White Supremacy.
Besides, it does not matter whether or not Crowther stopped exploiting North American ndn spirituality, since she is now also exploiting Meso and South American nations. So she is still making a profit of ndn spirituality, and she is still busy creating her own cult. Plus that she has taken up a few more Nuage ideas like e.g. Masaru Emoto and his fantasies about water having a memory. Crowther may or may not believe it has, she is using bits and pieces of Nuage resp pseudo-scientific bunk as a sales pitch to lure in more Nuagers. The Nuage scene in the Netherlands of course will be way smaller than that in the States.
