The prophecy lines or lines of speech are curly lines emanating from the mouth of a person or animal. They always mean more than just ordinary speach and they represent prophecy or 'speaking in tongues', symbols of shaman talk or 'beings of power'. Also, they represent communication between one or more individuals or beings conveying their thoughts on a deeply spiritual level.
