Barlow"s

Hello again people. As some of you will know, I am the proud owner of my first telescope, an 8" Dobsonian. It came with 2 eyepieces, 9mm and 25mm 1.25" Plossl's. Now that I've been reading the threads here, I see a lot of comments on Barlow eyepieces. My understanding is that they will give me double the magnification of normal one's. Is that correct or am I mistaken? If I was to purchase 1 or 2 Barlow's, which sizes would you recommend taking my existing eyepieces in to consideration? I also have a green filter for the moon, is there another filter that I really should have to make my viewing a more fulfilling experience?
