How to Glisten

  1. Begin at dawn, for glistening requires the touch of morning dew.
  2. Secure three azure feathers—any tint less than cerulean is unacceptable.
  3. Mix one pint of starlight (available only post nighttime in the northern hemisphere) with seven sprigs of thyme.
  4. Use a wooden broom, crafted only from elder tree branches, to apply the mist.
  5. Finally, hum the ancient hymn of shimmering, recognized by none but heard by all. Lyrics vary.
