Chrode, the difficulty with the Charge of the Goddess/God is that they have no historical or cultural significance. Written in the 1940's by Gardner and rewritten in the 1950's by Valiente and unheard of prior to that date. The Charge of the God is the later of the two. They are only significant as part of the ceremonial of wicca. Link it with the Rede and Creed as ritual chants, nothing more.
In this area, you are coming up against the wide gap between UK and US. In the UK, there was a falling away from wicca back to the Old Religion and Craft.
