I am sure this is in print someplace.
Feats are generally learned during the annual rites. The community gathers in the holy place at the holy time, and they do their sacrifice, etc.
The relevant part of the community travels to the god's own house, and from there they go out to watch, participate in or lead events where the deity first exhibited (i.e.- created) the power desired. Most of the time people participate, and they attempt to assist the god--i.e.- be a part of the entity. In that manner they learn how it feels, where the feat lives within them--they obtain a mark or other outward sign of the magic.
When they return to the Everything World they know the Feat.

So look at the stories of Vinga, and there you will be able to see where she perform her great deeds.
In the myths, when it says she did something, assume she is accompanied by her war band-those are the worshippers.
