Of these magical bloodlines, that of the Celtic faeries begins with Lilith, Adam’s first wife. Although she has disappeared from many modern Bibles, she can still be seen in the relief depicting the Garden of Eden on the front of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris (carved in 1225). She also appears in many ancient documents, including the Latin translation of the Christian Bible begun in 382 by St. Jerome (called the Vulgate, the version commonly used).
