In Chinese culture, seahorses bring good luck, especially to sailors. 

In Greek mythology, seahorses were sacred to Poseidon, the god of the ocean. Sailors believed that seahorses protected them from evil spirits and escorted them to the afterlife. 

✨Protection

In ancient European and Philippine lore, seahorses protected sailors from evil spirits and guided them through rough waters. 

In New Age religion, some believe that seahorses are wonderfully designed by God, with bony armor that protects them from danger.

Seahorses' unique appearance, similar to a tiny underwater dragon, has associated them with magic and fantasy.

In Buddhism, the seahorse's shy and elusive nature adds to its mystical quality, as they are rarely seen.
