Crab

Beings · Nature

Crab as an animal people have named and used. Protection, Wisdom, Reincarnation — one living kind, not a single symbol.

  • Crab is used in Medicine.

    Pliny’s Natural History treats crabs among shellfish entering Roman pharmacological speech. A named crab in that encyclopedia, not lobster as a separate shelf id and not a zodiac Cancer flatten alone.

    from Pliny the Elder · Natural History, c. 77 CE

  • Crab is historically related to Vinegar.

    In Beeton’s Book of Household Management, dressed crab empties the shells and thoroughly mixes the meat with two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, one of oil, and salt, white pepper, and cayenne to taste.

    from Isabella Beeton · Book of Household Management, 1861
