Quite few American Asatruar speak of Thurses, meaning

the plural if <þurs> is <þursar>.

Ásatrú is just one branch of Germanic neo-paganism, which in
turn is a small part of neo-paganism in general. Even if
*every* Ásatrúarmaðr used the term, that would still be a
rather small number.

What is the source of this assertion?

Google "Thurs" You'll find out in what manner the word
Thurs is being used.

Yeah: the bulk of the hits are for the standard abbreviation
of <Thursday>.

Google: "Thurs (giant)"

You'll find Thursar and Thurses used to indicate multiple giants, and Thurs
in relation to one giant.
