As a teenager, Locke spent years training to be a priest of the Crooked Warden. This particular training montage took place mostly offstage, sadly, so mostly what we know are the little bits of theology and ceremony we see elsewhere. We do, however, know that Locke also received training in at least two and possibly as many as four other priestly orders, those of other gods - under false pretenses, so he could learn how to fake being an acolyte of any deity he chose. The whole gang he was with did this, and then shared notes with one another so that they all had the capability to sham any priesthood they desired - blasphemy, of course, but one of the things we learn is that divines of the Nameless Thirteenth have one arguably magical passive ability - immunity to divine retribution for sacrilege or blasphemy.
Anyway, this is Locke's memory of all that training. A smug teenager having to get serious about the study of theology. I cannot imagine it went well or easily, but it took - Locke's piety in his priestly service is one of his most notable and unwavering attributes.
