Satan is a fallen angel created by God. Beautiful to look at. He is said to disguise himself as an "angel of light". What he physically looks like should not be your first concern, chances are you will never see him while you are living on this Earth. The more important thing to recognize is that he does exist, he hates God and he knows his days are numbered. He wants to take as many people with him as possible. Recognize that Satan's best tricks are deception and doubt. He doesn't need to stick you with a pitch-fork in order to win he just needs to keep you away from God to win.
It has been said that Satan's best trick was convincing the world that he didn't exist.

The serpent in the bible represented the double helix DNA. He was the one that actually made humans. He was a scientist and was symbolized as such by the serpent as in coiling like the helix. The bible does not say that the serpent in the garden was Satan. It only says that the serpent provided access to knowledge. What's so bad about being able to read and write. If it wasn't for that serpent you wouldn't be typing on the Internet tonight. You'd be using it like a rock to open a coconut.
Lucifer is someone else entirely different. His name means illuminator of the soul. I really like that.

Lucifer was an angel according to the bible so he would have been a beautiful creature. After his fall he had the ability to take multiple forms as the deceiver/ great lier. Now I believe in evil but I dont believe in the devil. In my religion there are forces of evil/negativity and forces of good but not a specific head bad dude or head good dude. I am a Wiccan by the way.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

However god is described in the bible. Because there is no way the bible could have been written by a loving god.
Oh and the horns thing is only recent when Christians were trying to put a bad name on pagans.

Lucifer and Satan are not the same beings. Satan means adversary in Hebrew and Lucifer is an Angel of God.

He doesn't look like anything - he doesn't have a body. This is part of his banishment from heaven. This is why he had to take on the form of the snake in the garden. Lucifer, and all the fallen angels, are formless.

Satan, Lucifer, Son of the Morning, however you call him, looks like you or me, eyes, ears, he looks human. When he tempted Adam and Eve I think he just controlled the snake. Just like when legion (for they were many) inhabited the bodies of pigs and then Jesus cast them into the sea.

There's nothing from Genesis to Revelation that gives any definitive description of what he looks like. He is referred to as the "Shining One" in Genesis for those who know and understand the etymology of the word serpent as translated "ha nachash", or "Shining One". So my guess is, him being the deceiver and full of darkness, he'd probably look like a regular man when in the flesh.

The most beautiful creature God ever created.
Ez..28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
