How to collect stardust
Get a wooden bucket. (Not iron, iron burns magic.)
Acquire a long, white feather. I recommend a thunderbird feather, but any should do.
Climb to the moon. This can be a mountain, a really long ladder, or an unusually tall telephone pole.
Once you get high enough, you’ll realize that the moon is not the moon.
It is an eye. The eye of an impossibly big creature, whose pelt is sprinkled with stars. (The moon is her left eye, if you’re interested.)
Do not disrespect her.
Do not speak to her.
Find the creature’s nose. This is where the feather comes in handy.
Tickle her nose until she sneezes. A few stars will be shaken off of her.
Quickly get out the bucket and catch them out of the sky.
Bow to the creature.
Always remember rule 6.
Climb back down to the earth.
Hold the bucket upside down at all times.
Gravity works the other way for stars.
Go to a garden.
Do not take the stars inside, under any circumstances.
Grind up the stars with a large stone. You may add rice in at the end, to keep them dry.
Always remember rule 17.
Always remember rule 14.
Hang the bucket in a discreet place near your home. (It will hang upside down, do not worry.)
Use within six months of this process.
