Experiments are about the only way you'll even be able to learn what does and does not work for you. What I would do is try to see if the information can be compressed into smaller chunks for better recall. Anything from creating symbols to simply shortening/paraphrasing the text you're working with. Otherwise practice as much as you can comfortably do so without pushing too hard. Recite your words repeatedly while awake this will make you remember the words. Don't get too discouraged with yourself. And don't be afraid to try anything new, so start with the recorder idea. From my point of view pro - it'll give your brain ready access to the ritual. Con - the noise of the mundane tape player er what ever might pull you out of trance... only one way to find out though.
Tell me, are you asleep when you work in the Astral? Or in such a deep medatative state that you cannot remember your rituals? If this be the case, it would benefit you to learn how to divide your consciousness so that while you practice in the Astral, you can still be aware here. Ominpotence can make magick very effecient...

no i'm not asleep when i work in the astral i just can't remember all the words to the rituals sometimes. when i'm in the astral temple i am all there and not here so i can't just read what i wrote down and go back.

Memorise them...abit at a time. I know that you can do it! Failing this, read from a book....for very complex work a book will be needed anyhow. There is no other way...save by introducing a medium (such as a sound recording of the ritual) which you use with you supplying the visualisations... Good Luck!

I use large text print outs and pin them just under the triangle or whatever you are working with. If you could get the text down to a few key words that trigger the rest of the sentence for you, all the better.
Even better, is to translate the words into pictures if possible so that you can 'read' them at a glance or combine pics or symbols in text.
