What is the difference between Lucifer and Satan?

Ask Savannah:

What is the difference between Lucifer and Satan, if any? Also, why is the image of Satan and even demons so often “scary”? Maybe it’s just me? I have no problem calling on anyone but feel their physical image ( should they appear) would in itself be “too much”. So I don’t call on them …. But I would like to!!!!! Is it just a deep rooted fear shoved down my throat by early Christianity? My upbringing consist of a natural blend of Christianity and Magic. Spells are considered as normal as attending church on Sunday…… Can you please give me some insight? Thank you.
