Abstract: We study the secant variety of the spinor variety, focusing on its equations of degree three and four. We show that in type $D_n$, cubic equations exist if and only if $nge9$. In general the ideal has generators in degrees at least three and four. Finally we observe that the other Freudenthal varieties exhibit strikingly similar behaviors.
