If he's a priest, he must already know much of his own religion's rituals and myths, otherwise what's he doing being a priest? The fact that he knows at least 10 points of divine magic means he is already familiar with the myths by which his god obtained those powers.
I presume he'd find them out in the same way that any terestrial priest would find out about the myths and lore of his or her religion.
