This video investigates the claim that the Anglo-Saxon text "Nine Herbs Charm" mentions seven worlds.

Correction: "penance" is a mistranslation on my part and should be "Remedy".

Note: I don't reject the seven worlds entirely because in Sanatana Dharma, there are 7 heavenly realms and seven hellish realms. I just don't buy that the Nine Herbs Charm's claim of 7 worlds simply because the text doesn't say so.
