It has been 9 months since you asked this question, but I found it unanswered today and although I did not write the hub on Totem Animals, I feel confident to answer your question. The macaw is not your spirit animal although your spirit animal is a bird, perhaps an eagle or a hawk. Birds have the ability to change rapidly in flight and position or direction.
The eagle helps you soar to new heights while the hawk keeps you sharp and focused. From that information you should be able to figure out which is your spirit animal.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
