Mystical Angels - i've heard you can use playing cards in substitute for TAROT cards. but can the reverse be true?

i've heard you can use playing cards in substitute for TAROT cards. but can the reverse be true?

i've given this some thought, & i conclude that POKER would be hard to play, but what about RUMMY? or GO FISH? or any of the other many card games?

actually if i remember correctly there was a card game played in europe using tarot cards. probably. there are six suits in a tarot deck, so its a little more complicated. i think. i dont know for sure. but youre right about being able to use a deck of playing cards to do readings. the formations are simplified, but the method and mythology is the same. i read that in a random book i picked up about voodoo some years ago. however my source on the game with the tarot cards is more sketchy becuz i dont exactly where i got that morsel of information.
