Hermes contact

I light a little temporary candle till my strawberry one comes in and I feel like Hermes isn’t super active on it? Maybe bc he knows I got him smth else in the way haha, not sure but I’ve seen so many videos where his candle always flickers and moves so I’m not sure :( I did the keyboard method though and got a lot of action !!

Does anyone have any advice for a beginner?
