Folk signs for the harvest
Not only the well-being of people depended on a good harvest, but also whether they could survive the next year. Particular importance was given to the grain harvest. But a lot also depended on how well fruit trees, shrubs, and garden plants harvested. It is not surprising that people wanted to know in advance what the harvest would be like. They noticed various phenomena of nature and everyday life, which then allowed them to pass on the signs of a good harvest from generation to generation.
Spring signs for the harvest
Even in early spring, it was possible to predict how the harvest season would end. Mainly due to signs related to weather conditions.
- A slushy April means a good harvest of mushrooms, and if thunderstorms become more frequent, it means that nuts will be harvested well.
- There are a lot of tadpoles in the puddles - the year will be fruitful.
- It’s good if in early spring the snow melts under the rays of the first sun. If snow clearings have formed due to rain, you should prepare for a bad harvest.

Folk signs for the harvest are the result of centuries-old observations of various natural phenomena, the behavior of animals and plants. Our ancestors skillfully used these observations and could accurately predict what harvest they would have next year and when to start sowing and harvesting field crops. Signs also helped determine how rich the harvest would be. All these superstitions have survived to this day. They can be used to prepare for the coming agricultural year.

Winter signs by month
Winter is a special time of year when advance preparation for agricultural work began. People went out to carol, said goodbye to the winter and performed many smaller rituals - all of them were called upon to magically influence the productivity of the land.
In addition, for each winter month, our ancestors had their own folk signs for the harvest, associated with natural phenomena, which helped determine the forecast for the next year:

Signs by region
Each region of Russia has its own special superstitions and signs of a good harvest. They operate only in a certain region and will be useless in other Russian regions:
Region | Signs |
Kuban | In Kuban, winters have little snow and do not indulge in snowdrifts. Kuban residents believe that if snow falls heavily and later than usual, the year will be fruitful. Also, residents of Kuban noticed that if the weather is sunny on Candlemas, the summer will be rainy and the harvest will be meager |
Ural | In the Urals, residents are noticing what a winter it has been like. If it is snowy and windy, the harvest will be plentiful; if there is little snow, you should not expect heavy harvests. Frost fell on the trees at Christmas - garden and vegetable crops will be damaged. Early spring - there will be little bread |
Siberia | In cold regions of the country - in Siberia and the north - they pay attention to the behavior of cats in winter. If they stay near the heat all the time and wash themselves often, you should expect a windy spring and a fruitful summer. |
Central Russia and Moscow region | The Moscow region and the central part of Russia are similar in their climatic conditions, therefore the signs here are the same. In Central Russia, crop yields are determined by the Russian winter holiday of St. Nicholas. If heavy snow falls on this day, then the earth will give birth well |
Bashkiria | Residents of Bashkiria determine whether the land is rich in winter weather. If the winter is harsh and does not indulge in thaws, the summer will be warm and rich in bread |
Chuvashia | The Chuvash people believe that if the south wind often blows during the winter months, the year will delight with an abundance of fruits and vegetables |
Tatarstan | The Tatar people pay attention to how the ice freezes on reservoirs. If the ice layer is thick, a rich harvest is guaranteed. |
Leningrad region | In the Leningrad region there is a sign for Epiphany. If on January 19 the sky is covered with clouds, the earth will give birth to a lot of bread. A cloudless sky portends drought and a bad year |
Wisdom, expressed in many years of observations of nature, even now helps determine whether the harvest will be fertile and abundant.
The story of one of our readers Alina R.:
Money has always been my main problem. Because of this, I had a lot of complexes. I considered myself a failure; problems at work and in my personal life haunted me. However, I decided that I still needed personal help. Sometimes it seems that the problem is in you, all failures are just a consequence of bad energy, the evil eye or some other bad force.
But who can help in a difficult life situation, when it seems that your whole life is going downhill and passing you by? It’s hard to be happy working as a cashier for 26 thousand rubles, when you had to pay 11 thousand for renting an apartment. Imagine my surprise when my whole life suddenly changed overnight for the better. I couldn’t even imagine that it was possible to earn so much money that some trinket at first glance could have such an impact.
