A besom made from a willow tree and infused with cinnamon oil that is used to "sweep" the bad energy from the house. I always sweep toward the east, best I can. Sweep it out the front or back door of the house, preferably a door that isn't used very often. Don't forget to sweep the ceiling and corners too. Keep in mind, this is not real sweeping in that you are trying to gather dirt, you are making symbolic gestures to "sweep away the evil." Another way you can try, is to open every window covering in the house, shades, curtains, etc., to allow in the most sunlight you can to "burn away" the evil. To get into corners, use a blessed mirror, one that is only (or mainly) used for magick. You can say your protection spell or favorite psalm or what-have-you, as you let the light in and use the mirror. I also have used another way, but you will look even more kooky, and that is to open the window coverings on the night of the full moon and use the moonlight to clear away the darkness. Use a mirror (or candle) to illuminate areas unreached by direct light (corners, closets, interior rooms).

Hope that helps.
