It is perfectly possible since lay member status doesn't come with any serious obligations. The cults are basically incompatible since the Pavis cult keeps the Law in the city, and the Lanbril cult breaks it.

If the character is culturally Lunar, he will most certainly worship the Seven Mothers, or at least some of them, and definitely in the temple of the Seven Mothers, since that's the only Lunar Religious Centre in Prax. If he is sincerely devout or has a mystic slant he would pilgrimage to Moonbroth as well.

The cult of the Seven Mothers as presented *is* a frontier religion, but Pavis *is* the frontier, so the character won't have much of a choice if he doesn't feel like rejecting his religion.

If he worships Yelm or Lodril or some other Pelorian gods he won't find a lot of worship ceremonies to participate in to gain or regain divine magic. Of course, he or his family probably has a private shrine at home to perform the ceremonies for his or their spiritual wellbeing.
