My own understanding of demons is that they are also called devils, those spirits cast out of heaven for rebellion (See Rev. 12: 7-9;). Demonism is belief in demons; a demoniac is one thought to be possessed of an evil spirit.

There is no symbolic meaning to demons though many organizations practicing the worship of demons and their leader Satan, will no doubt have their secret signs to identify each other.

As followers of Satan, who is Perdition, they are sons of perdition. They were cast down from heaven and denied physical bodies, a fact which causes them to seek habitation in the bodies of other persons.

the symbolism for demons is also the symbol for the religion of satanism. This is the pentagram. To be more clear, selectively the one with the likeness of the head of baphomet within the star.

baphomet gets its goatlike appearance from a particular event that occured in The Bible. The outcast of the unholy goat. This is from Leviticus 16:20-22. Here it is as written in the New International Version...

"When Aaron has finished making atonement for the Most Holy Place, the tent of meeting and the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat. He is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites-all their sins-and put them on the goat's head. He shall send the goat away into the wilderness in the care of someone appointed for the task. The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a remote place; and the man shall release it in the wilderness.

Is a crucifix important during exorcism?

It can be, but it is not essential. Demons are exorcised from those possessed by the power of Our Blessed Lord, through His minister, the priest. This is done through prayer. Different sacramentals may be used during the ritual, but they are not necessary to the ritual itself. What is necessary is the ordained priest, and his faith in Our Blessed Lord. The most important things for a complete exorcism are the sacraments, as these are the grace of Our Blessed Lord, and, in the case of the Most Holy Eucharist, Our Blessed Lord, Himself. For a complete discussion of exorcism, please read Fr. Gabriele Amorth's book, An Exorcist Tells His Story. Fr. Amorth is currently the chief exorcist for the diocese of Rome - he is the Holy Father's Exorcist.
