You will want to keep record of your rituals. Writing down what you have done and when you did it will allow you to keep track of your success and failures.
A witch's journal is called a Book of Shadows, a witch's recipe book is called a grimoire. Its best you have two books, especialy when you are starting out, but it isnt required.
Think of your Book of Shadows as a place to record your private thoughts and concerns as well as ritual outcomes. As you grow spiritualy, this record can remind you how far you've come.
Your grimoire is a sort of how-to book. In this book you list recepes, spells and the mundane aspects of ritual like dates, moon phases etc.
Concider writing in your BOS as a joyous task, be creative, have fun. You can include bits of poetry, chants, pictures and even dried flowers if you want. Just plunge ahead and see what works for you.
