Here is a place for charges for all the Gods: Here is one from my BoS- I am not sure of the author however. Charge of the Dancing God: Here the words of the dancing God, the music of whose laughter stirs the winds, whose voice call the seasons. I who am the Lord of the Hunt and the power and the Light, Sun among the clouds, and the secret of the flame. I call upon your bones to arise and come unto me. For I am the flesh of the Earth and all its beings. Through me all things must die and with me are reborn. Let my worship be in the body that sings, for behold! All acts of willing sacrifice are my rituals, let there be desire and fear, anger and longing found within you. For these too are a part of the mysteries found with in yourself, within me all beginnings have endings and all endings have beginnings.

Charge of the Dark God;
Listen to the words of the Dark God who was of old called, Iakchos, Donn, Anubis, Hades, Setech, & by many other names…
I am the shadow in bright day: I am the reminder of mortality at the height of living. I am the never-ending veil of night where the Star Goddess dances. I am the death the must be, so that life may continue, for behold, life is immortal because the living must die.
I am the strength that protects, that limits; I am the power that says No and No Further, and That is Enough. I am the things that cannot be spoken of, and I am the laughter at the edge of death.
Come with me into the warm enfolding dark; feel my caresses in the hands, in the mouth, in the body of the one you love, and be transformed.
Gather in the moonless night and speak in unknown tongues; the dark mother and I will listen. Sing to us and cry out, and the power will be yours to wield.
Blow me a kiss when the shy is dark, and I will smile. But no kiss returns, for my kiss is the final one for all mortal flesh.
I do not know the author- JenJen

This is similar to the Invocation of the Dark God which Katie uses to channel in our rituals.
It is in the Grimoire for the Green Witch by Ann Moura.
Listen to the words of the Dark God, who was of old called Dis, Hades, Osiris, Hunter, and Lord of Shadows:
I am the shadow that is cast by the sun in the brightest of days. I am the reminder of sudden mortality in the midst of joyous life. I am the black velvet night where dances the stars and the planets; time everlasting, unperturbed dancer of fiery endings and new beginnings. I am the Horned Hunter, bow drawn in my hand; gathering the living with my arrows and leading the wild hunt. By my hand are ye lead from this life, that life may continue, for behold! My mystery lies in the movement of life energy from life unto life, for the reminder that all life feeds on life and that only through death is life found anew.
I am the strength that protects, comforts, gives solace and renewal. I am the one who stands by the Crone of Transformation, then enters her Tomb for birth through her womb. Follow my lead and find thy immortality. Together we shall laugh at the threshold of death passage as awareness awakens, and I shall embrace thee in thy last moments of life.
Remember me on dark moonless nights; look for my Rade in the roiling storm clouds and the clash of bright lightning. I carry thee to the one who transforms, Dark Mother of all, releaser of strife. Sing to us thy songs in the tongues of ecstasy, for we understand the music of the soul. Blow me a kiss from the palm of thy hand when the moon is dark, and I shall smile upon thee, but kiss shall I return; for my kiss is the final one of for all mortal flesh, nepenthe to drink at the end of thy days.

Listen to the words of the Horned God,
The Guardian of all things wild and free, and Keeper of the Gates of Death, whose Call all must answer:
I am the fire within your heart... The yearning of your Soul. I am the Hunter of Knowledge and the Seeker of the Holy Quest; I who stand in the darkness of light; I am He whom you have called Death. I am the Consort and Mate of Her we adore, call forth to me.
Heed my call beloved ones, come unto me and learn the secrets of death and peace. I am the corn at harvest and the fruit on the trees. I am He who leads you home. Scourge and Flame, Blade and Blood these are mine and gifts to thee.
Call unto me in the forest wild and on hilltop bare and seek me in the Darkness Bright. I who have been called; Pan, Herne, Osiris , and Hades, speak to thee in thy search. Come dance and sing; come live and smile, for behold: this is my worship.
You are my children and I am thy Father. On swift night wings it is I who lay you at the Mother's feet to be reborn and to return again.
Thou who thinks to seek me, know that I am the untamed wind, the fury of storm and passion in your Soul. Seek me with pride and humility, but seek me best with love and strength.
For this is my path, and I love not the weak and fearful. Hear my call on long Winter nights and we shall stand together guarding Her Earth as She sleeps.
