like unto bees about a honeycomb
Dolls, voodoo or otherwise, can be kind of freaky. They're not evil per se- just creepy.

That is intended for some sort of keychain or decoration from voodoo image but it is not the real one. like making the voodoo doll into a toy or decorarion and commercialised it.... It is sold at some don't know what gift shop or whatever ...

Think the labels did put the word "voodoo doll". Have not seen it myself, but when I siblings saw it, they knew it is voodoo doll keychains as it has become a gift product sold in shopping centre.

You guys are giving me a good laugh!
Eh7,
I agree with the majority here who say to get rid of it.
Even though it's a gift.
So be bold, tell your friend how you believe.
Or, if that's not an option, will he/she actually be asking where it is?
If so, you can always do the cowardly thing and change the subject (my personal favorite)

Life is great but eternal life is better!!
my advise is, dont keep it.
i know alot of people who have been into witch craft and even the simplest objects like cute dolls can have serious implications, your friend might have had good intetions but the devil can use it to hold you in some area of your life,..seriously vodoo dolls are not things to mess around with however cute they might look..if some one were to poison you he would never put the poison in some thing unattractive! get my point?

Isn't a voodoo doll - the voodoo magic just a doll?
voodoo doll - voodoo = doll
voodoo doll - voodoo = doll

If you are thinking of it as a "voodoo doll" and that bothers you, then throw it away. If every time you look at it you think "meh...I've got a satanic symbol hanging from housekeys, I dunno if I should, is that evil?" then it's going to mess with you.
Paul spoke on something very, very similar--objects that may have been used as part of pagan religious rituals. He said don't worry about it. Don't ask about it and don't think on it. It is just meat--eat it if you wish and don't let it come between you and God. If it does come between you and God, because you are thinking on it and giving it power, or if it is causing somebody else to stumble, then don't eat it for that reason. The overriding message is this: it is an object. It is part of this world. It has no power but what you give it, so don't give it any. Failing at that, just get rid of it.
It looks like a little commericially produced trinket that's made as a fad. I seriously doubt it has any background, and I doubt even more that any chanting or sprinkling of herbs in it's background is going to get between you and God.
You're worry about it might, though. So either keep it as a funny little yarn dude and don't worry about it, or get rid of it in whatever way you are comfortable.
