As i understand it, when Lucifer was cast out of heaven a group of other angels fell with him. Does anyone know if this group of angels has a specific name.
I don't mean Satanists, or any religious group comprising of humans who worship the devil or whatnot.
For example, God has his Angels, Lillith has her Lillitu etc, but what would you call such, erm minions? disciples?, of lucifer?

Check this because I'm not 100 percent sure if this is correct, but I think that the angels are simply referred to as 'Fallen Angels'. Lucifer, himself, was a fallen angel. I don't know if there was any particular name for the angels who believed Lucifer was right. They were all casted from Heaven at the same time, so there probably wasn't enough time for a name to be formed. And God wouldn't honor Lucifer by giving his followers a name.
Also, it's not demons. Demons and fallen angels are completely different. To my understanding, the angels that fell with Lucifer are locked up in Hell.

Also, I just did a check and checked my Bible as well and have come to this same conclusion: Lucifer and Satan are completely different. Apparently Lucifer was a term for degrading Nebudchanzzer, who was King of Babylon. Check Isaiah 14; they are talking to the King of Babylon- they say it bluntly. They also refer to Lucifer as a man. SOOO Lucifer is not Satan.
HOWEVER, I have no idea what the angels who followed Satan were called either. :/
