Seasons
Seasons, four periods of the year (spring, summer, autumn and winter) characterized by certain average temperatures. The period during which the Sun passes through one of these sectors is called the season. Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere begin when the Sun passes through the initial circle of declination and its right ascension is 0° (vernal equinox). Summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere occur when the sun's right ascension is 90° (summer solstice). Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere begin when the sun's right ascension is 180° (autumnal equinox). The beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere is considered to be the winter solstice, when the direct ascension of the Sun is 270°... Next: Seasons.

Folk calendar about every day
Every day one season always replaces another and this determines a person’s way of life. In connection with this, a folk calendar was formed in which there were practically no nameless, unmarked days. Every day was special, had its own purpose. All this was determined by climate conditions and astrological phenomena.
A calendar is a system for counting periods of time. The first calendars arose a long time ago, in ancient times, because there was a need to measure time. The word calendar comes from the Latin words caleo - to proclaim and calendarium - debt book. This is due to the fact that in Ancient Rome the beginning of each month was especially proclaimed, and because it was customary to pay debts on the first day of the month. Different peoples counted time differently. Some calendars are based on the changing phases of the moon - lunar calendars; in others - the change of seasons - sunny; in others, the length of the year was coordinated with the change of seasons, and the counting of months was associated with the phases of the Moon. Such calendars are called lunisolar.
In Rus', the calendar was called a monthly calendar. Every day, the month book covered the entire year of peasant life, “describing” day by day, month after month, where each day had its own holidays or weekdays, customs and superstitions, traditions and rituals, natural signs and phenomena. The cyclical nature of the calendar is reminiscent of human life, where spring is youth, summer is heyday, autumn is the time of harvesting fruits (it’s good if there are some, otherwise you can live your life without collecting fruits), winter is the time of wisdom and peace. This cyclicality and rhythm determined the way of life of the farmer. The folk calendar was an agricultural calendar, which was reflected in the names of the months, folk signs, rituals and customs. Even the determination of the timing and duration of the seasons is associated with real climatic conditions. Hence the discrepancy between the names of the months in different areas...

Pike fishing in May | Very Active Pike
The pike shows a special zhor in May. For the best catch, you need to choose reservoirs with clean water or fast rivers, and as gear - a strong, medium-length spinning rod.
A Promising Method of Catching Pike at This Time
On Zhiwiec. Use live bait, small in size, living in the reservoir where fishing will be carried out;
For wobblers and spinners.
Pike is most active in the last month of spring, and if it grabs the bait, it will not simply allow itself to be pulled ashore.
Once hooked, the Pike will show you the whole range of its signature tricks for breaking, and even after exhausting itself and getting ashore, it still remains dangerous, so be extremely careful when removing it from the hook.

Fishing calendar for every day
The fishing calendar should not be taken as an absolutely indisputable truth. Fish biting is greatly influenced by a whole range of natural factors, as well as the influence on the nature of man himself. You must not forget that the fish’s bite depends and is determined not only by the calendar dates and biological cycles of their life, reflected in the calendar, but also, no less, by the state of their habitat; the bite also depends on weather conditions: air and water temperatures, cloudiness, wind direction and strength, etc...

Where to look and what to fish for in May
May is a great month for catching bream and roach. Most often they are caught using a float rod, but on rivers and large reservoirs it is better to use a feeder. The main thing in catching bream and roach is bait. With its help, you can not only attract fish to the fishing spot, but also keep them there for as long as possible. Roach can be caught during almost the entire daylight hours, and bream bite even at night. Dough, maggots, worms, mash, and semolina are used as bait. Also, with the beginning of flowering cattails and reeds, previously sluggish carp, crucian carp, and tench become active. They are caught well until the very beginning of June, or more precisely, before the start of spawning. The best bait to use is corn, dough, steamed grains, oatmeal, worms, and maggots.
In May you should look for fish in the following places:
- at shallow depths, where the water warms up faster;
- in snag;
- among the reeds;
- in areas with last year's vegetation.
Don't forget about the predator. It is better to look for pike where there are natural or artificial shelters - reed thickets, sunken trees, bridge piles, etc. Perch is caught near the shore, where it searches for fry. Pike perch and catfish are preparing to spawn, and if you manage to get to the pre-spawning feast, the catch may please you not only with the quantity of fish caught, but also with the trophy size of individual individuals.
Fishing on the Volga
Many fishermen are looking forward to the beginning of May to go fishing on the Volga. At the end of spring, you can catch almost any fish here - crucian carp, carp, carp, roach, catfish, asp, pike, pike perch, etc. They fish here with a float rod, a feeder, and even a spinning rod. Among the places to search for fish, I would like to mention holes, snags, edges, rolls, thickets of reeds and cattails. They successfully catch catfish from a quok boat, tempting them with a bunch of worms, a frog, or mussel meat.

Fishing in Astrakhan
In Astrakhan, in addition to the Volga, there are a huge number of other rivers and reservoirs where you can successfully catch a variety of fish. Among the most common of them are:
- Mitinka,
- Akhtuba,
- Ashuluk,
- Kharabalyk,
- Buzan,
- Kigach, as well as numerous eriki.
Often this is where you can most often catch trophy pike, pike perch, catfish, asp, carp, and carp. And this is due to the smaller number of fishermen who give preference primarily to the Volga with its open spaces and the presence of hunting and fishing bases. They fish here with all kinds of gear - float, feeder, donka, spinning rod, from the shore or boat, day and night. Read more about fishing in May on Akhtuba

Fishing in the Moscow region
With the arrival of warmth and warming up of the water in the Moscow region, carp, carp, crucian carp, roach, ide, chub, asp begin to peck, and the hunt for predators becomes more productive, as it comes closer to the shore in search of sites for juvenile fish. They fish with a float rod and feeder, but spinning fishing is prohibited in the Moscow region in May. For most fish species, by the end of spring, spawning ends and the feeding begins, which every self-respecting angler dreams of catching.
Fishing on the Don
The Don is one of the richest rivers in our country. In May, here you can catch bream, small fish, mullet, shamaika, grass carp, roach, carp, carp, crucian carp, sabrefish, ide and many other fish. There are also plenty of predators here - pike, perch, pike perch, catfish, asp, and in the northern part of the river you can even find burbot, which is rare in the southern regions.

Fishing on the Don is mainly done with a donk, feeder or spinning rod, but you can also successfully fish from a boat or piers with a float rod. Near the shore, crucian carp, perch, roach, bleak, white bream, silver bream and other small fish actively bite, and closer to the riverbed live real trophies - carp, ide, pike, catfish, grass carp and others.

Orthodox calendar about every day
Orthodox calendar: Orthodox, Church and Christian holidays.
The church year is an alternation of weekdays and holidays. On weekdays, a person is called to work “by the sweat of his brow to earn his bread.” Holidays are given in order to feel liberation, to rise above the bustle and routine of the world, to feel involved in the highest of worlds, “where there are no illnesses, sorrows and sighs, but endless life.” Since ancient times, holiday cycles have been associated with the seasons. The pagans associated them with the worship of the forces of nature, the cult of which in the Old Testament was replaced by gratitude to the Creator for the universe. And although the connection between holidays and the seasons has not completely lost its power, since God is present in everything, in the plant and animal world, in human works, it nevertheless faded into the background, giving way to a spiritual foundation built on the Sacred Scriptures. The history of Orthodox holidays dates back to the times of the Old Testament. Each of the Orthodox holidays is dedicated to the remembrance of the most important events in the life of Jesus Christ and the Mother of God, as well as the memory of saints...

Fishing in May
With the onset of the first days of May, the spring flood begins to gradually subside, and the water level approaches normal. By this time, most of the fish finish spawning and change their previous habitat, preferring deep lakes and river reservoirs.
Having thoroughly enjoyed themselves in the warm shallow water, aquatic inhabitants begin to show high activity and mobility, making fishing even more interesting. In May you can count on chub, roach, bream, ide and crucian carp, carp, rudd, carp, silver bream and pike perch.
In the first half of May
In the first ten days of May you will have an excellent opportunity to catch roach, ide and rudd. At the same time, the roach prefers warm water without much current and a uniform clay bottom, which is full of plant food. But this is not the only opportunity for fish to profit, since it does not disdain larvae, mollusks and other small animals.
In the second half of May
In the second ten days of May, when the first leaves appear on the trees, you can see May beetles. They are also considered an excellent bait for catching chub, ide and asp. At the same time, chub and ide will definitely become your catch when using the fly fishing method in the evening. Whereas at the surface of the bottom of the reservoir, fish stay in the first half of the night and even early in the morning.
If you want to catch catfish, come fishing at the end of May. At this time, it is excellently caught on large crawlers. Amazing fishing results with mugs and spinning rods on river bodies with strong currents. After all, quite often fishermen boast about trophy-sized pike perch.
Depending on geographical location
Fishing, taking into account the geographical location, involves a general migration of fish during the spawning period to a warmer and warmer area of the reservoir. After all, in May days the water is not yet as warm as we would like. And the fry are most often found in shallow water. And this is the main food for predatory fish.
Russian folk calendar for every day
The word “sign” comes from the word “notice”, i.e. observe. As a result of observing what happens around a person every day, he accumulates life experience. This knowledge was passed down from generation to generation, carefully preserved and people trusted it as a sacred book. Many signs have come to us from the depths of centuries without losing their knowledge. Each of us is free to choose: to dismiss all this as an absurd superstition or to take a closer look at the signs and take the centuries-old experience of generations more seriously. Most of us, when taking exams, ask them to scold them, boasting about some kind of good fortune or luck, spit so as not to jinx them or knock on wood, take a detour if a black cat crossed the road, are afraid of the number 13 and much more. And who among us does not have lucky things, numbers? Who has never resorted to the help of fate at least once in their life, who has not believed in secrets? It’s as if everything connected with signs is hidden somewhere deep in our subconscious. Often we remember them mechanically, unconsciously, or just as a joke. But, undoubtedly, the signs contain a lot of accurate knowledge and practical wisdom of our ancestors. They cover all the characteristic, often difficult to perceive, natural phenomena. Signs have preserved a lot of what was in old folk holidays and customs; they help predict the weather, grow crops... Next: Folk signs...
WHAT FISH TO CATCH IN MAY
By mid-May, the water temperature in the sea and lakes increases significantly, and therefore fishing becomes most successful in the morning, evening and night hours. Let's find out. what kind of fish and in what ways is best to catch in May.
Fishing for carp in May
Carp fishing in May is interesting because the carp comes very close to the shore and takes almost all baits. The best of them are worms, dessert corn, and steamed whole peas. The most convenient gear is a float rod and a donka with a feeder. The carp’s favorite place at this time is near the shore under the branches of a bush or tree. There the carp waits for an insect that accidentally falls into the water. An experienced fisherman can catch especially large specimens in such places. Fishing for carp on a feeder, in addition to special gear, also requires knowledge about what bait to use for catching carp, which bait for catching carp on a feeder will be more effective. Also, feeder carp fishing will require patience from you. There is no need to leave the rod unattended, because carp bites are usually confident and strong. For feeder carp fishing, you should use rods with a length of 3.6 - 3.9 meters, with a test weight of up to 90 g. When fishing for carp on a feeder, there should be a lot of bait. Feeder fishing for carp involves proper feeding of the fishing area.

Such prayers are called praise or thanksgiving. If some misfortune, illness, trouble or need happens, you need to ask God for help. Such prayers are called petitionary... Next: Orthodox prayers...
Zodiac, astrological, eastern calendar. Zodiac signs
In ancient times, to establish the calendar, priests used knowledge of the positions of all the planets. Before the reform of Peter 1, the New Year was celebrated on the Day of the Autumn Equinox. On this day, according to ancient legend, the most peaceful treaty was concluded between the Great Race (ancient Slavs) and the Great Dragon (ancient Chinese) and it was approximately 7518 years ago... For the ancient Slavs, the calendar month corresponded to the lunar cycle from new moon to new moon, taking into account such Thus, the relationship of the entire annual cycle with astronomical and natural phenomena. There was no coherent calendar system. The main natural phenomena are still considered to this day to be the days of the solar equinox and solstice - the Slavic holidays Maslenitsa, Kupala, Ovsen and Kolyada. But during the time of Peter 1, all ancient Slavic calendars were abolished and a new Western European calendar from the Nativity of Christ (Julian calendar) was introduced, while the beginning of the calendar was moved to January 1. The Julian calendar (old style) did not take leap days into account and accumulated one extra day every 128 years. After the October Revolution in 1918, the Gregorian calendar (new style) was introduced in Russia, according to which an amendment of 13 days was introduced. The calendar of the ancient Slavs was based on two planets: the Sun and the Moon. And now they don’t use anything at all. The calendar has become static. There is no such thing as the calendar, it turns out, resting on some planet. Nobody even knows about it. There are just some standard numbers, there are months and holidays. The calendar is based on the Sun and Moon. Why is this so? Because these two luminaries influence the Earth. The Earth revolves around the Sun, and the Moon revolves around the Earth. And these two luminaries create the atmosphere on the planet. From here the calendar is built... Next: Astrological calendar...
Features of catching different types of fish
In May, the overwhelming majority of predators have already spawned and go out into shallow water, where they calmly hunt for white fish, which are either preparing for spawning or are already in the process of spawning. The predator accumulates off the coast, in relatively shallow areas with reed thickets.
Important! When fishing for pike or perch in May, there is no longer any point in using miniature baits, as in early spring; you should pay attention to larger options, such as in the case of wobblers, big minnow class baits.
Freed from the burden of caviar, pike in May begins to react positively to large baits. I demonstrate good results on toothy predators of decent size using big minnow type wobblers.
The situation with different types of white fish in May is complicated. Some of the peaceful fish are just preparing for spawning, some are already spawning, and therefore when you go fishing purposefully, for example, for bream, you may well be left with nothing, since it does not bite during spawning.
Perch
In May, perch is quite active, and you should look for striped fish in relatively shallow water areas where this predator hunts for fry. You can catch it here either with float rods or donks using a red dung worm, maggot or live bait as bait, or with an ultralight spinning rod using small baits - rotating or oscillating spoons, edible rubber, small wobblers with a voluminous body, shads, fats or cranks . If the weather is warm enough and the water is warm, you can try to catch striped fish using surface wobblers - walkers and poppers, which, despite the possibly more modest results, can provide more spectacular and exciting fishing.
Small spinner spoons often demonstrate very good results for perch. It is worth carefully monitoring the surface of the water - it is advisable to throw the bait in those places where the striped predator is actively chasing the fry.
Pike
The toothy predator, like the perch, in the last month of spring is found mainly in shallow waters, where both fry and prey of quite decent sizes gather. At this time, it is necessary to look for pike near the growth line of reeds, near various snags located in shallow waters, on the line between algae thickets and clean water. You should try catching it with large baits: wobblers, edible silicone, rotating or oscillating spoons.
Catching pike with surface baits may be somewhat less effective, but for many, such fishing turns out to be more interesting due to the spectacular bites of the toothy predator.

Catching Catfish in May | In Shallower Areas
Catfish are nocturnal fish and usually go out hunting no earlier than dusk. You can fish for catfish all night, and the catch, even just one fish, will more than justify the sleepless hours spent on the shore.
In May, the catfish will already become bolder after winter rest, and will begin to move to shallower places, at a sufficient distance from the wintering pits located at depth.
Sometimes, the back of this giant can be seen even in the shallows at the moment when the catfish comes out to bask in the sun. And this is a good sign that daytime catfish fishing will be successful, but at night the catfish will rest.
Almost anything can be used as bait, but the best choice would be a mouse, including an artificial one, and a wobbler.
You can fish both from a boat and from the shore using a short, up to 2.5 meters, but very durable spinning rod, in which it is better to replace the fishing line with braided line that can withstand 30-40 kg.
If you catch catfish on a donk, then you need a very strong hook, or better yet, a forged one.
