a theory - apologies for length of post, the quotation is worth it hopefully
I wonder whether the 'starmaker' has anything to do with Olaf Stapleton's 1937 book of the same name. I attach a quotation which may support this theory:

Many times in the early part of my dream I felt doubt as to what the Star Maker was striving to accomplish in his creating. I could not but believe that his purpose was at first not clearly conceived. He himself had evidently to discover it gradually; and often, as it seemed to me, his work was tentative, and his aim confused. But at the close of his maturity he willed to create as fully as possible, to call forth the full potentiality of his medium, to fashion works of increasing subtlety, and of increasingly harmonious diversity. As his purpose became clearer, it seemed also to include the will to create universes each of which might contain some unique achievement of awarenes and expression. For the creature's acheivement of perception and of will was seemingly the instrument by which the Star Maker himself, cosmos by cosmos, woke into keener lucidity…

At length, so my dream, my myth, declared, the Star Maker created his ultimate & most subtle cosmos, for which all other were but tentative preparations. Of this final creature I can only say that it embraced within its own organic texture the essences of all its predecessors; and far more besides

Such organic creation is remarkably similar to that which we are experiencing in this story.

I am not sure how this would fit into the Tarot or Alice themes tho...
