To All,
With great sadness, I report the death of Ash Kennaz a.k.a. Brett Hackett, a friend, brother and mentor to many.
Whether liked or not (and most did like him), all who knew Ash regarded him as one of the greatest contemporary magicians. Throughout his extensive career Ash enlightened many to the principles and dynamics of Chaos Magic Theory, including Timothy Leary and Anton LaVey. Among the titles Ash held include Urwahim (Master Shaman) in the Finno-Ugric tradition and Magus (9*=1) in the A.:A.: .
In 2000 Ash opened the Magikal Child bookstore (with homage to Herman Slater) in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury, which served as one of the last remaining outlets for the occult community until 2002.
A martial artist capable of breaking arrows against his neck and born with second sight, Ash strove every day towards his life's goal of reawakening magic in this world.

Re: R.I.P. Ash Kennaz
Fri, August 29, 2008 - 11:28 AMI am sad to hear this news.
He was one of many mentors to me as well.
I met him while living in SF @ the opening of the Magikal Child.
Rest well Ash. -

Re: R.I.P. Ash Kennaz
Sat, August 30, 2008 - 1:31 AMI can't say that I knew him very well or for very long, but he was a roommate of mine after I met him at Curios and Candles. He introduced me to Carroll's Liber Null & Psychonaut. That book had much impact on my belief system. Thanks Ash.
